Biografie van Absolute Ensemble
The New York based Absolute Ensemble is a 18-piece electro-acoustic ensemble that fuses classical music with jazz, rock, funk, and hip-hop. Charles Mingus, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix have found a place on the bill with Bach, Stravinsky and Schoenberg and the works of new composers whom the band is often the first to promote. They have also performed works by the Beatles, Frank Zappa, John Adams and Michael Daugherty.

The American Record Guide claims Absolute "may be the most alluring and virtuosic…of today's new music groups." Absolute has released eight Albums and in turn received a list of accolades, including the German Record Critics Prize and a Grammy nomination.
