Owen Chen's "lunar Frontier: Cowboy Bebop"

About

https://www.viewcy.com/event/the_lunar_frontier_c_14 Owen Chen's Eternal Wind Quintet traces the journey of jazz from New Orleans to Tokyo and back - performing Yoko Kanno's Cowboy Bebop score alongside the hard bop and blues standards that inspired it, from Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk to Art Blakey and Duke Ellington. Eternal Wind is a cinematic jazz quintet led by guitarist Owen Chen, exploring film and game music through the lens of modern jazz improvisation, and atmospheric storytelling. Drawing from the language of bebop, post-bop, and contemporary jazz, the group reshapes familiar themes into music that feels intimate, restless, nostalgic and alive. Described by BroadwayWorld as “tender, aching, dark, and explosively alive, The Lunar Frontier features a rotating cast of rising New York players from the city's top conservatories, alongside jazz veterans who've shared the bandstand with Elvin Jones, Roy Haynes, and more. The group is signed to the jazz label Origin Records.
