Big Heart Machine - Big Heart Machine (2018)

Assembled with 19 stellar musicians and fueled by inspiration from eclectic extremes, Big Heart Machine is a musical engine designed to start the listener s heart pounding and blood pumping. Composer, saxophonist and bandleader Brian Krock summons the bracing power of heavy metal, the dizzying precision of progressive rock and the heady abstractions of contemporary classical music, conjuring an exhilaratingly original take on the power and complexity of the modern big band. Their eponymous debut album, Big Heart Machine, was produced by multiple-Grammy-nominated composer Darcy James Argue and conducted by rising-star Miho Hazama.
