About the event
Saturn People’s Sound Collective
20 pieces @ the intersections of creative big band music, postmodern rock + outer space.
A very special immersive show with live improvised video projections from Vanish Works.
Led by Harwood music teacher Brian Boyes, “one of Vermont’s most compelling composers and arrangers.” (Times Argus), Saturn People explores an alchemy of groove, timbre and long-form composition. In addition to original music, a Saturn show includes unique interpretations of music by Bjork, Radiohead, David Byrne, Jimi Hendrix and M.I.A and St. Vincent.
With a special opener, Highland Jazz.
10 horns, 4 vocalists, vibes, 2 drummers, guitar, keys + bass
“Mind Blowing Radness . . . anything Boyes does from here on out will likely inspire genuine curiosity among a growing segment of the local music-listening public. The Saturn People’s Sound Collective’s set at the FlynnSpace was simply transcendent, not merely a local highlight, but a Discover Jazz festival topper, period.” – Seven Days
