Join us for this exclusive chat with Dave Douglas, Mareike Wiening, Kazemde George, and David Sanford.

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

Three albums from our artists are on the ballot for this year's GRAMMY Awards.

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."

Composer and conductor David Sanford talks with Dave about composing for big band and his new record on Greenleaf Music.

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

It's great to see these wonderful albums featured in this list!

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