“ 'Creating a space where everyone reconnected with the stories and songs that shaped them... tender, almost aching arrangements... nostalgia that made the room go quiet.' — BroadwayWorld ”
A dual-guitar led contemporary jazz ensemble that reimagines popular film, anime, and video game music scores. This cinematic jazz ensemble reshapes familiar melodies into immersive improvisational experiences.
The Lunar Frontier Series traces the journey of jazz from New Orleans to Tokyo and back - performing Yoko Kanno's Cowboy Bebop score alongside the straight-ahead hard bop and blues standards that inspired it, from Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk to Art Blakey and Duke Ellington.
“The energy in the room exploded. It was jazzy, chaotic, and so alive, like the sound of running through neon-lit streets at night.”
“hearing that music live just hit different. It was pure joy —triumphant, bright, and so deeply nostalgic. For everyone in the room, those first few notes unlocked childhood memories,”
“The arrangement was tender, almost aching, and it carried so much nostalgia that you could feel the whole room go quiet. It was the kind of song that makes your chest hurt in the best way.” - BroadwayWorld
