As for the title, the leader says: "I named it that because without the drummer, nothing will move. And without movement, the world will stop. The earth rotates, which is movement. The waves in the ocean, the leaves falling from trees, people talking to each other - it's all movement, it's rhythm, it's energy". Non infos were given about the recording session.

The vinyl Of Things Beyond Thule Volume 1 (Aerophonic, 2020) documents the notable quintet of Joe McPhee (pocket trumpet, tenor sax), Dave Rempis (alto and baritone saxes), Tomeka Reid (cello), Brandon Lopez (bass) and Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) in their splitted suite Qanaaq, recorded in december 2018. From the liner notes: "As is often the case, McPhee's love for simple melodies, and a staggeringly gorgeous sound on every instrument he touches, brought this first outing by the quintet into quick focus. While Lopez and Nilssen-Love both have the endless well of energy and technique needed to power a band of any type, listen to them here holding back, riding the wave of tension created by restraint, and only occasionally allowing the flood to burst through. Rempis follows a similar route, wrapping his lines around McPhee's stark melodies to create lush harmonies full of cinematic and pastoral beauty. And while it's more than easy to focus on Reid's prodigious abilities as a soloist, pay attention to how she drives the ensemble music forward everywhere on this record, with subtle actions that spin her bandmates' choices into gold".
Like Amber, Babel takes the concept of a full ensemble and strips things back to a more fragile and exposed interpretation. Rather than doing so for strings, however, Babel is a three-person vocal library that comprises solo soprano, alto and bass voices. The collection again begins with ensemble patches, which offer layered combinations of the voices. But there is a wide variety of articulations for each voice in its own folder.
Walden's follow up to his 2005 Grammy-nominated release "Home of My Heart," is another triumph of the big band idiom. Featuring once again the vocals of Tierney Sutton, the lead trumpet of Wayne Bergeron, as well as soloists Brandon Fields, Till Bronner, and many more top-flight Los Angeles musicians, "No Bounds" breadth of musical styles, lush cinematic sweep, and perpetual swing will appeal to all music lovers.Track Listing:1 WINTER GAMES 3:492 WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR 5:003 NO BOUNDS 6:304 PEOPLE WILL SAY WE'RE IN LOVE 5:075 CLAX'S THEME 4:276 IN THE DOGHOUSE 6:337 TRY HARDER 3:508 SMILE 4:169 SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME 5:1310 OTTERKAM 5:1411 IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL 5:14
"Adler's winning, New-Age sounding score (solo violin, acoustic guitar and piano over strings) for this little indie about the rise of Napa Valley wine country cunningly uses percussion effects that echo the sound of clattering wine bottles."Richard Knight Jr., Chicago Tribune
"Casablanca" is one of the definitive romance movies in cinematic history, and part of it owes to the song "As Time Goes By." Originally written in 1931, the song featured heavily in the 1942 film as a reoccurring motif. Sam, played in the film by Dooley Wilson, plays it at Humphrey Bogart's request. Warner Bros. would use the song for their brand long after the film's release, including it with their studio production logo at the beginning and end of their films. 2ff7e9595c
