This effort from Travis Sullivan brings you the music of Bjork Gudmundsdottir in a large jazz ensemble. Blending Bjork’s visionary techno pop with the harmonic andimprovisational elements of modern jazz, composer, arranger, andmulti-instrumentalist Travis Sullivan has created a truly uniqueensemble that transcends genre and style. Comprised of New York City’s finest jazz musicians, this eighteen-pieceensemble features full horn and rhythm sections as well as talentedvocalist Becca Stevens, performing Sullivan’s arrangements that spanBjork’s entire catalogue. – Joe Parsaca
