The Chairman Dances
Album by John Adams & San Francisco Symphony & Edo de Waart
The Chairman Dances is a short orchestral composition by American composer John Adams, written in 1985. It employs post-minimalist techniques with driving, repeated figures, jazz-inflected dance rhythms and colourful orchestration, and it occupies a transitional place in Adams's career as a compact exploration of rhythmic drive and tonal colour alongside his work on opera and larger orchestral pieces.
