Wild Lines: Improvising Emily Dickinson
A new work for jazz quartet, 21st-century soprano saxophonist
Jane Ira Bloom reimagines the poetry of 19th-century visionary Emily Dickinson.
Soaring, poetic, quick silver, spontaneous and instantly identifiable are words used to describe the soprano sound of saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom. She's been steadfastly developing her singular voice on the soprano saxophone for over 35 years creating a body of music that marks her as an American original. She is a pioneer in the use of live electronics and movement in jazz, as well as the possessor of "one of the most gorgeous tones and hauntingly lyrical ballad conceptions of any soprano saxophonist." - Pulse
