❗ Please help me find more information about this 1983 ballet set to music by Jaco Pastorius and Canadian rock singer-songwriter Gino Vannelli.
It premiered on October 7, 1983, and featured choreography for twelve dancers by Bahamian choreographer David Bowen. The ballet was advertised in newspapers between October 2, 1983 (The Press of Atlantic City) and April 5, 1984 (The Bernardsville News and Echoes Sentinel).
"The New Jersey State Ballet will make its fourth visit to the Performing Arts Center of Stockton State College Saturday for an 8:15 p.m. program that will include a new ballet.
The work to be premiered is a new jazz ballet by young Bahamian choreographer David Bowen. Titled "Eclipse," it will be danced to the music of "Weathervane Report" by Gino Vanelli [sic] and Jacob Pastorius [sic]." The Press of Atlantic City – October 7, 1983, p. 45.
