Um Pulitzer

O Pulitzer Prize for Music deste ano de 2016 foi atribuído ao compositor, saxofonista e flautista de jazz, Henry Threadgill pelo seu trabalho 'In for a Penny, in for a Pound'.


"One of the most thrillingly elusive composers in and around the jazz idiom: a sly maestro of unconventional timbres, bristling counterpoint and tough but slippery rhythms."

(New York Times)

"A highly original work in which notated music and improvisation mesh in a sonic tapestry that seems the very expression of modern American life."

(Pi Recordings)
