GENE PRITSKER - RITE THROUGH AN ECLECTIC SPECTRUM

      (2017, cd, usa, composers concordance records comcon041)

Gene PritSker has a huge admiration for Igor Stravinsky’s ‘The Rite Of Spring’. Not only for the, at the time, revolutionary compositional aspects, but also for the stir that it caused at its premiere performance. Guided by Stravinsky’s avant-garde piece, Gene wrote 8 new pieces for his Sound Liberation ensemble.

The result is quite energetic (that's probably where the 'riot' part comes in) and the influence is obvious.
In his typical eclectic style, mixing hip-hop and beats with jazz, Gene Pritsker gives ‘The Rite Of Spring’ a contemporary twist.
"Rite Through An Eclectic Spectrum".
I like it.
