ARTIST AS CURATOR
Curated by The Westerlies

Riley Mulerkar, trumpet

Chloe Rowlands, trumpet

Andy Clausen, trombone

Addison-Maye-Saxon, trombone

The Grammy-nominated brass quartet known for playing with the precision of a string quartet and the audacity of a rock band performs new arrangements of works by the celebrated jazz guitarist and composer Bill Frisell from their forthcoming album, Stand Up, Sit Down: The Music of Bill Frisell, Vol. 2. The second volume in their career-spanning retrospective of Frisells compositions sheds new light on old songs while firmly planting Frisell in the canon of American Concert Music in the lineage of Ives, Copland and Ellington. An arty quartetmixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk (The New York Times), The Westerlies have upended presumptions of the brass tradition to create music that is folk-like and composerly, lovely and intellectually rigorous (NPR Music).
