about

Saxophonist/Clarinetist/Composer Ken Thomson has been an active member of the New York freelance scene for nearly two decades, as a performing member of the Bang on a Can All Stars and Asphalt Orchestra, among several others. Also an accomplished bandleader, Thomson releases his newest Sextet recording featuring ambitious, rhythmically incisive music (including an arrangement of Ligeti’s Passacaglia Ungherese) that flows seamlessly between elaborate contrapuntal textures, edge of your seat unison passages, and blistering improvisations from a first rate band of colleagues.
