I CARE IF YOU LISTEN: New Amsterdam Records and Le Poisson Rouge Celebrate 10th Anniversary
BY LANA NORRIS
"The second performance of the evening was Roomful of Teeth, and highlighted New Amsterdam’s success. The GRAMMY-winning group is known for its wide range of vocal techniques, new concert music commissioning, and partnerships with higher education. The Teeth stood circled around a drum kit and sang The Ascendant by Wally Gunn. The six movements highlighted their full range of effects and adventurous energy including call and response, solos growing out of a vocal trellis, imitative sirens, pointillistic part writing, vocal rhythms reminiscent of Brazilian folksong, and satisfying eight-part chords."
