John O'Gallagher - The Anton Webern Project (2013)

The Anton Webern Project is the debut WWR release from John O' Gallagher, a grammy-award winning alto saxophonist who is known as one of the most compelling improvisers, composers and music conceptualists at work today on the avant-jazz scene. The California native has released many critically acclaimed albums to date but it's this new, completely-unique and ambitious project which shows his diverse talents pushed to new and exciting limits, featuring a groundbreaking reworking and adaptation of the music of Anton Webern (the Austrian composer known for his innovation of the twelve-tone technique and the musical movement known as 'Serialism') for his seven-piece contemporary jazz ensemble which features many of the most respected creative musicians on the New York (and therefore global) music scene.
