This 13-piece band presents passionate and forceful music with Argentine underpinnings and a big-band sound in the tradition of such composers as Duke Ellington and Carla Bley. The band members are each masterful instrumentalists, and the arrangements highlight the unique talents of each of them, artfully weaving together pre-composed and improvised elements.
