About

HYPERBOLE SURROUNDS IRA SULLIVAN. IT IS EVIDENT IN BOTH HIS MUSIC AND HIS LIFE. HIS TALENT HAS BEEN CALLED “PURE LYRIC,” “FIRE,” “FORMIDABLE,” “COMPLEX,” “ORNATE,” “UNPARALLELED,” “HAUNTING,” OR, MORE SIMPLY, “LEGEND.” SOME REVIEWERS SAY HE IS A MUSICAL GENIUS; OTHERS SAY THIS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THEY CITE HIS ABILITY TO PICK UP A STRANGE INSTRUMENT AND, WITHIN A FEW DAYS, TO BE AS CONVERSANT WITH IT AS IF HE HAD BEEN PLAYING IT FOR YEARS. WORLD CLASS MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST IRA SULLIVAN PLAYS TRUMPET, FLUGELHORN, PECKHORN, TENOR, ALTO, AND SOPRANO SAXOPHONES, FLUTE, AND AN OCCASIONAL ROUND OF DRUMS, ALL OF THEM IMPECCABLY AND NOT AS A GIMMICK.
