New Sounds

hollenbeck joys desires

Joys & Desires

Show #2584

Monday, September 18, 2006

Experience “high torque” ensemble music with the latest from in-and-out-of-jazz drummer/composer John Hollenbeck – “Joys and Desires.” Its mesmerizing and exotic textures are all the more arresting because of the vocal contributions of Theo Bleckmann. Plus, there are selections from “Terror & Magnificence,” music by John Harle, a saxophonist with Michael Nyman's band. The work is kind of like chamber jazz and invokes Tudor texts and English folksongs. Also, hear "Ariadne in Su Laberinto," the final movement from Osvaldo Golijov’s gorgeous song cycle “Ayre.” It’s a juxtaposition of Eastern European Jewish music and Spanish rhythms and Arabic and Latin American rhythms featuring Dawn Upshaw, the soprano and “vocal octopus” (a compliment from the composer himself.) And as always on New Sounds, much more.
