Ode

by The London Jazz Composers Orchestra

Ode cover art

Barry Guy's colossal avant-garde big band debuts with this incredibly complex, suite-like composition. Blurring the lines between rigorous European contemporary classical music and explosive free improvisation, the massive ensemble executes terrifyingly dense walls of dissonance that cemented them as a foundational pillar of the British avant-garde.
