Music by Ólafur Arnalds, Andy Clausen, Ervin Drake & Jimmy Shirl, Duke Ellington, Robin Holcomb, John McCurry, John Prine, J.P. Reese, Chloe Rowlands and William Walker
The New York-based brass quartet comprised of Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands on trumpet, and Andy Clausen and Addison Maye-Saxon on trombone, combines the precision of a string quartet with the audacity of a rock band. The Westerlies present a bold and deeply personal vision of brass through a program that features music from their recent and forthcoming albums Wherein Lies the Good and Paradise. Painting across the vast canvas of American music, traditional expectations of brass are turned on their head as the ensemble blurs the lines between jazz, classical and folk traditions.
