Hollenbeck, John - Eternal Interlude

SKU 28-SSY1220.2
John Hollenbeck is one of the great up 'n' coming composers in jazz/new music today. His work as a composer for his large ensemble as well as for the great Claudia Quintet has won him great acclaim from the public and the critics (he scored the #1 placing in the 'talent deserving wider recognition' in the categories of both composer and arranger in the 2008 DownBeat critics poll). The 18 piece ensemble + guests provides beautiful tonal color to John's very exciting compositions. All his work is worth checking into, but this is a rare (although luckily not as rare as it might be) chance to hear his work with a hugely expanded range. Includes reworkings of two Claudia tunes as a extra bonus! John Hollenbeck is one of the great up 'n' coming composers in jazz/new music today.

"Hollenbeck continues to prove his extraordinary skill as composer and improviser in a number of groups, most notably the Claudia Quintet and his Large Ensemble. The composer/percussionist is comfortable using musical elements from a vast array of genres, including modern classical, jazz, and progressive rock. The effect is a completely unique sonic palette that can shimmer and float, or drive and rock. The Ensemble features many luminary members of experimental music, including vocalist Theo Bleckmann to beautiful effect."
