A Blanket for the Moon – Primitive Art Orchestra

Jazz all-stars David Haney and Julian Priester are joined by a large ensemble to record their new album, A Blanket for the Moon. Trombone, piano, strings, tuba, drums, clarinet, and a shofar––it’s the Primitive Art Orchestra!  The new project blends improvisational jazz ideas with bluegrass and low brass instrumentation.

The group is launching a crowdfunding campaign here, on Indiegogo, which will last from late October to December 3, 2012, during which the artists will offer a host of rewards for their fans, including their latest cd, Day for Night at Jackstraw, and a pre-ordered signed copy of A Blanket for the Moon.

Please visit their campaign site for more information.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE…don’t miss this fascinating group’s premier concert of A Blanket for the Moon. The event will be held on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, at the Royal Room in Seattle, WA. The companion show is offered as a preview of the new album, after which a short reception will be held for the fans to meet the artists.
