- This is a past program
“A post-modern masterpiece.” – Troy Collins, All About Jazz
“Dazzling proof that intricately arranged, angular modern jazz can be accessible and enjoyable.” – Wire Magazine
A versatile, singular and wildly innovative musician, oboist Kyle Bruckmann has built an unlikely career shapeshifting between contemporary classical music, electronic noise, post-punk rock, and improvised music. His chamber jazz ensemble WRACK features superb musicians from Chicago and San Francisco, performing his “musical phantasmagoria” inspired by the novels of Thomas Pynchon.
