On the new CD Transformation: Personal Stories of Change, Acceptance and Evolution, Glenn Close joins forces with composer Ted Nash and members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra on a series of pieces that integrate spoken word segments selected by Close, with compositions by Nash. This is the second collaboration for Glenn Close and Ted Nash, with this one being especially personal, as the spoken segments range from Ted Hughes’s Tales From Ovid,” one of Glenn’s favorites, to a letter in which Ted Nash’s son comes out as transgender. Each piece focuses on change being positive, an attitude Ted Nash and Glenn Close share and encourage others to embrace.
