#2952: Big Bands
For this New Sounds, hear new music for large ensembles, sometimes with lots of brass, sometimes with an electric guitar. We'll dig into the record "Infernal Machines" by Darcy James Argue's Secret Society, which brings together the best of mid-century big bands and the minimalism of Steve Reich. There's also music by John Hollenbeck & the Jazz Big Band Graz from Austria along with music by New Yorker Roy Nathanson and the Jazz Passengers. Plus, music that looks to Ethiopia from the Either Orchestra, and more.
