The Westerlies Come On Home With Horvitz

NPR | By Kevin Whitehead
Published July 7, 2014 at 1:18 PM EDT

The Westerlies is a quartet of young New York brass players who know each other from school days in Seattle. Their debut album is a set of pieces by Seattle-based composer and improviser Wayne Horvitz. Jazz critic Kevin Whitehead says Horvitz and the Westerlies are a perfect fit.
