What is the line that makes sound, music? Nilsson, along with pianist Santiago Leibson, bassist Marty Kenney, and drummer Rodrigo Recabarren, seek to answer that question in Pulses, a riveting eight-part suite based and built on the rhythmic and melodic aspects of Dr. Maya Angelou's voice. Awarded a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works Grant, Pulses explores the intersection between jazz and communication by highlighting the subtle melodic development and deep groove in Dr. Angelou's reading of her poem "On The Pulse of Morning." Crafted, composed, and improvised around Dr. Angelou's pitch and phrasing, Pulses is an impressive creative experiment that brings to light the full depth of her sonic and poetic brilliance. Band lineup: Elsa Nilson, flute Santiago Leibson, piano Marty Kenney, bass Rodrigo Recabarren, drums
