The Sonoran Suite is a nine-part piece for quintet, written for and inspired by the Sonoran Desert in the American Southwest. The style is a blend of jazz with contemporary classical, third stream, and avant garde. The record highlight's Schiller's unique compositional style and is sculpted with the improvisational prowess of his ensemble: Tony Malaby (tenor sax), Ethan Helm (alto sax), Hery Paz (bass clarinet), Matt Honor (drums), and Andrew Schiller (double bass). The resulting piece is a re-imagination of the desert and its elements—paying tribute to its blistering heat, surreal mountain ranges, thorny and venomous wildlife, and a stubborn will to exist with little to no water. Recorded in November 2018 at Big Orange Sheep in Brooklyn, mixed and mastered by Michael Perez-Cisneros.
