Wil Swindler's Elevenet celebrates the release of their latest album "Space Bugs" on OA2 records.
In describing this project, composer/bandleader/saxophonist Wil Swindler says:
"This project of mixed winds and jazz rhythm section has been my preferred compositional vehicle since 2004. This album showcases some of the music I have composed for this group from 2012 to 2022. As a composer, I’ve always been between worlds. I value the pristine intervals and warm timbres of orchestral classical music, but I love the adventurous freedom of small group jazz. This group exists with me between those two worlds in an attempt to explore and display the beauty found in each."
