Julius Eastman Vol. 5 – Gay Guerrilla – Christopher Rountree, Wild Up

Wild Up — the form-exploding new music ensemble deemed “a raucous, grungy, irresistibly exuberant…fun-loving, exceptionally virtuosic family” by The New York Times — announces Julius Eastman Vol. 5: Gay Guerrilla, the latest entry in their decade-long, multiple-time GRAMMY-nominated compendium on the late American composer and polymath. In their imposing rendition, Wild Up reaffirms the point made by the musicologist and composer Luciano Chessa: “If all of Eastman’s music but this one were to disappear, Gay Guerrilla would still be enough to guarantee him a firm place in the history of twentieth-century music.”
