That doesn't make the prospect any less daunting, considering the sharp turns and blind alleys associated with Wainwright's deeply idiosyncratic style. But Vicious World, a septet co-led by saxophonist Aaron Irwin and trombonist Matthew McDonald, matches the music's mysterious melodicism with an expanded lineup that also includes lush textures from violinist Eliza Cho and cellist ...
