Re-release of the previously out of stock album debut by the genre bending and boundary pushing Monika Roscher Bigband. "Failure in Wonderland" is a fascinating odyssey brimming with musical ideas, evoking fantastical sceneries, and defying clear-cut classifications of genre and form. The 2012 debut is the 18-piece big band's first foray into the musical wilderlands between cinematic jazz, art rock, avant pop and experimental electronics. Upon its release the album made waves within Germany and without (Spiegel, Stern, FAZ, SZ, Welt, Le Monde, DownBeat, etc.) with critics praising it's singular and seminal artistic vision. The album received the Echo Jazz Newcomer award and was ranked in the US DownBeats annual critics poll as 'Rising Star'.The band was invited to many prestigious festivals, among others to Jazzfest Berlin, Jazz&theCity Salzburg, Fusion Festival, Alto Adige and Elbphilharmonie.
