SYNOPSIS
An evening of music not to be missed! The acclaimed organ and drum pioneers Benevento-Russo Duo take the stage at Spiegelworld with Travis Sullivan’s Bjorkestra for an unforgettable evening of instrumental music plus very special guests. The Benevento/Russo Duo formed in 2002 when Russo and childhood chum Marco Benevento combined forces in NYC’s underground club scene. With hardly any written material at first, the band made a virtue out of necessity by converting loose sketches into improvisations. They are an indie-rock band that jams - a jazz-combo that rocks. Travis Sullivan’s Bjorkestra is an 18-piece, genre-bending jazz orchestra that has successfully fused the pop music world with the stylistic and improvisatory concepts of modern jazz. Arranged and conducted by the saxophonist Travis Sullivan, The Bjorkestra performs the music of visionary pop artist Bjork, spanning her entire catalogue as a solo artist, truly creating a big band sound for the 21st Century.
