Jessica Lurie Ensemble
“Defying genre borders, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Jessica Lurie satisfies on Megaphone Heart, designing a multilayered sonic structure… melding lyrical pop, stinging rock, rhythmic Eastern European folk music and improvisation-heavy jazz with a dose of free-wheeling avant-groove-meets-grind.”
- Dan Ouellete, EMUSIC
“Best known in the Bay Area as a founding member of Seattle’s uproariously grooving Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet, saxophonist-vocalist Jessica Lurie has forged a fascinating career as a bandleader since relocating to Brooklyn, drawing on Balkan beats, jazz forms and rock energy. “
