Three artists wrote back with three picks each.

The 18-piece ensemble co-led by Anna Webber and Angela Morris will play a free outdoor show.

Fred Kaplan says, "the variety, depth, harmonic layers, and rhythmic complexity are extraordinary."

The group will play music from their recent release as well as two new pieces.

Seth Colter Walls says, "Few composers have broader stylistic reach. But on a new album, “A Prayer for Lester Bowie,” he makes it all cohere."

Dave Sumner says, "Sanford’s ensemble moves with a subtle grace and unerring bounce in its step."

The album is now available on CD and in digital format.

Phil Freeman says the album, "emphasizes exciting, boundary-stretching compositions performed in a vibrant style."

Giovanni Russonello calls the album, "a glorious hodgepodge of large-ensemble synchronicity and wah-wah-drenched blazes."

Check out the track "V-Reel" on the Modern Contemporary playlist.

Sanford's piece is a sonic exploration that is both funky and freaky.

The group plays in Prospect Park on August 19th at 5pm.
