{"product_id":"jeffrey-brooks-the-passion-1","title":"Jeffrey Brooks: The Passion","description":"Big expressive gestures, heavy basslines, pop and rock influences, jagged dissonance and New York-style \"downtown\" noise are all signatures of composer Jeffrey Brooks' vibrant and electric music. As a longtime friend and associate of Bang on a Can's founding composers (Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe), whom he first met while a student at Yale in the mid-1980s, Jeffrey Brooks might be best known for his wind ensemble work Dreadnought (1996), but more significantly, he is one of the few modern classical composers with a penchant for chasing rhythm in a way that even urban dancefloor DJs can understand. The Passion collects three of his most compelling works: After the Treewatcher (2012), Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother (2015) and the epic title piece (2017). Featuring edgy, raucous performances by the Bang on a Can All-Stars and the New York-based large ensemble Contemporaneous (conducted by David Bloom), the recording is, in essence, a tribute to the lasting power of friendship, and a triumph of the human spirit.","brand":"Cantaloupe Music","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49709555056920,"sku":"713746314620","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3912011.jpg?v=1777771629","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/jeffrey-brooks-the-passion-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
