Composer Brooks Frederickson’s debut album Small Works is a snapshot of the community of collaborators Brooks lived and worked with in Brooklyn. Small Works comes from not only the small forces needed for each piece, but also from the small amount of material that acts as the germ for each piece.
This release show will feature performances by Exceptet, Longleash, and Brendon Randall-Myers and Matt Evans.
