Brian Byrne presents She Must Go

Album Out Now


A groundbreaking jazz song cycle bridging centuries of poetry with the immediacy of contemporary jazz.


 

Featured Album

She Must Go (Timberlake Records via Big Shoulders Records) is composer and pianist Brian Byrne’s bold reimagining of the song cycle. Commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the album unites timeless poetry by Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Sara Teasdale, Robert Frost, Emma Lazarus, and Dylan Thomas with powerful new lyrics by Alan Bergman, Steven Sater, and Kasey Jones.

The music is brought to life by a stellar lineup of guest artists including:

Kurt Elling

Curtis Stigers

Veronica Swift

Tierney Sutton

Kate McGarry, and the LA Children’s Chorus

Blending orchestra, big band, and intimate jazz ensembles, She Must Go is a kaleidoscopic work that feels both timeless and urgently present.
