"The captivating New Works/Celebration is remarkable evidence of the intricate musical language Bob Brookmeyer has crafted as a composer. In the realm of his own inner logic--informed by Sauter and Stravinsky as much as George Russell and even Boulez--Brookmeyer has conceived something that is as warm and passionate as it is cerebral and sometimes startling." -- ALL ABOUT JAZZ The recording debut of the New Art Orchestra, an eighteen-piece ensemble created and directed by Bob Brookmeyer.
