Big band jazz punctuated by stunning video animation and live painting, "Brooklyn Babylon" tells the tale of Lev, a carpenter in a future Brooklyn, tasked with building a carousel to crown the tallest tower in the world. It's an urban fable co-created by acclaimed graphic novelist and illustrator Danijel Zezelj and Grammy-nominated composer Darcy James Argue. The story unfolds wordlessly through the combination of video, live painting, and an original score performed by Argue's 18-piece jazz big band, Secret Society. Composer and bandleader Argue has toured nationally and internationally with Secret Society, garnering countless awards, and reimagining what a 21st-century big band can sound like.
