The Minimalism of Erik Satie

by Vienna Art Orchestra

The Minimalism of Erik Satie cover art

Led by Mathias Rüegg, the acclaimed avant-garde jazz ensemble meticulously rearranges the idiosyncratic, sparse piano works of Erik Satie for a full big band. The recording brilliantly translates Satie's eccentric minimalism into lush, swinging orchestration interspersed with intricate vocal gymnastics by Lauren Newton. It stands as a profound, wildly creative example of Third Stream jazz synthesis.
