Biography

Dexter George Morrill (1938-2019) was a composer, trumpet player, and professor of music best known for his collaboration with jazz saxophonist, Stan Getz during the premiere of 'Getz Variations for tenor saxophone and tape' (1984); a Morrill composition which merged jazz improvisation with computer-generated sounds. In his early years, he studied trumpet with Dizzy Gillespie at the Lenox School of Jazz, and later composition with Leonard Ratner and orchestration with Leland Smith before receiving his MA from Stanford University in 1962.

After receiving his DMA in 1970, Morrill began teaching at Colgate University and collaborated with John Chowning and Leland Smith at Stanford in the creation of the first mainframe computer music studios and workshops in the world. A significant portion of Morrill's compositions in this period focused heavily on computer-generated tape and computer music systems performed in concert with conventional instruments. In the 1980s he worked with engineer Perry Cook to develop a MIDI trumpet which he would later perform in many concerts. Morrill also authored two books, 'A Guide to the Big Band Recordings of Woody Herman' and 'The American String Quartet'.
