Lori Bell & Joe Garrison Ensemble at Encinitas Library

About

A wonderfully skilled composer and arranger, Garrison writes with a rare combination of precision and fluidity that blurs the lines between notated scores and deft improvisations. Simultaneously intricate and visceral, his sonic portraits exude power and finesse in equal measure. His luminous instrumental voicings and ingenious use of textures assume a cinematic depth and breadth.
