It's always a treat to hear a well-rehearsed “big” band, and having enjoyed the Tentet on their previous visit, I thought it would be a good idea to see them again tonight. The show was great fun, and while the program repeated two tunes from the 2017 visit, I was happy to hear both again: nothing wrong with emphasizing the really good stuff!

Jazz Times posted a brief promo article in advance of the January world premiere of Triple Helix at Carnegie Hall.

The CSO posted an similar promo article about Triple Helix in advance of the Tentet's recent Chicago premiere.
