Travis Sullivan's Bjorkestra is a genre bending jazz orchestra that interprets the music of Bjork Gudmundsdottir, one of the most influential pop artists of the past 20 years. The Bjorkestra transcends the boundaries of popular music and modern jazz, and continues to thrill and mesmerize audiences with it's engaging blend of improvisation, brilliant arrangements, and danceable grooves.
Whether you are a fan of Bjork or jazz, the Bjorkestra offers something for anyone interested in listening to innovative, creative music while having fun in the process. Employing a traditional big band instrumentation augmented by vocalist Becca Stevens and laptop drum programming wizard Ian Cook, a live Bjorkestra show is a unique listening experience that has impact both sonic and visual; paying homage to their muse, Bjork, through invention, not imitation.
In 2009, Sullivan restructured the Bjorkestra as a seven-piece band (The Bjorktet, if you will) that features some of todayıs most prominent jazz artists. For this performance The Bjorkestra will feature special guests Donny McCaslin on tenor saxophone, Rachel Z on piano, and Clarence Penn on drums. |
