Erik Jekabson's Breakthrough Sextet

Erik Jekabson's "Breakthrough" sextet plays music from his most recent album "Breakthrough". Erik has re-orchestrated the music (originally written for various size chamber groups including chamber orchestra) for an all-star sextet. Allmusic Guide has described the music as "a vibrant blend of influences from the glimmering, minimalist orchestrations of Philip Glass and John Adams to the moody, sunbaked atmospheres of Miles Davis and arranger Gil Evans' large-ensemble works" and it was one of the San Jose Mercury News' top jazz albums of 2025.
