One of New York’s best new big bands is conducted by Ryan Truesdell. Voted the #1Rising Star Big Band by the Downbeat Critics’ Poll, Truesdell’s new CD, Centennial Project, delves into the work of Toronto-born composer Gil Evans, who was Miles Davis’s collaborator on albums such as Birth of the Cool, Sketches of Spain, and Porgy & Bess. “The year’s most illuminating act of jazz repertory was this bright and meticulous album by Mr. Truesdell … The playing is impeccable, as is the ensemble blend, underscoring both the composer’s genius and the interpreter’s clear vision.” (The New York Times)
