East Axis Is like the cumulative life experience of its members: four men of different styles and backgrounds, coming together to spontaneously make music that sounds like each of them, all of them, and none of them. The music is like a dream of many scenes, but one observed with precision and the deepest type of understanding. The sound of it is a running commentary on the intersection of experience and that dream; a map of places that these musicians are still trying to explore. The challenge for listeners to keep up is also central to the thrill of listening to this music. - Something Else! The new free jazz quartet East Axis explores different moods and forms of narrative in their music, and the fun of it, besides the incredible sounds that connect with artistic purpose, is that you are never sure exactly where it will take you...the group delivers with both elegance and vitality. - Jazz Trail BAND MEMBERS:Gerald Cleaver: drums Kevin Ray: bass Scott Robinson: tenor saxophone, alto clarinet, tarogato, trumpet, slide cornet Matthew Shipp: piano EAST AXIS / NO SUBJECT, Runningtime: 00:00:00, A&R: Will Wakefield, Artwork [Cover Painting], Art Direction, Design: Raj Naik, Bass: Kevin Ray (3), Composed By [All Compositions By]: Gerald Cleaver, Composed By [All Compositions By]: Kevin Ray (3), Composed By [All Compositions By]: Matthew Shipp, Composed By [All Compositions By]: Scott Robinson (2), Drums: Gerald Cleaver, Engineer [Recording Assisted By]: Duff Harris, Engineer [Recording Engineer], Mixed By, Mastered By: Marc Urselli, Executive-Producer: Denny Stilwell, Executive-Producer: Gretchen Valade, Management, Product Manager [Creative Services + Production]: Romelle Canonizado, Piano: Matthew Shipp, Producer: East Axis, Product Manager: Sharon Green (4), Tenor Saxophone, Alto Clarinet, Tárogató, Trumpet, Cornet [Slide Cornet]: Scott Robinson (2), Labelcode BMIS4003.2 (BRO4003, 673203400321), Marketed By Brother Mister Productions, Distributed By Brother Mister Productions, Phonographic Copyright (p) Mack Avenue Records II, LLC, Copyright (c) Mack Avenue Records II, LLC, Published By Gerald Cleaver Music, Published By Kayare Music, Published By Multisonic Music, Published By Matt Shipp Music, Recorded At East Side Sound, Mixed At East Side Sound, Mastered At East Side Sound, Manufactured By The ADS Group |
