SUMMARY: Makrokosmos Orchestra - Dissolve Album Release
DESCRIPTION:RICHARD NELSON\nJoin us as the Makrokosmos Orchestra celebrates the release of their first album\, Dissolve (Adhyâropa Records). Called “modern jazz at its highest level” (All About Jazz)\, Makrokosmos co-leader Richard Nelson’s symphonic-length triptych takes a big picture\, broad-spectrum view of contemporary creative music\, maneuvering deftly between ambitious compositions and adventurous improvisation. Featuring some of New York’s finest players\, Makrokosmos will bring fresh and dynamic interpretations to all three of the suite’s evocatively titled movements—Dissolve\, Float\, and Cohere\, music in which improvisation and composition intertwine in highly imaginative and surprising ways. \nThe group will also spotlight Makrokosmos co-leader Tim O’Dell’s compositions with the premiere of of Ellis Quincy\, the constantly shifting colors of Kaleidoscope\, and the aspirational\, hard-swinging Selfless. \nFeaturing Erica Seguine (conductor)\, Michel Gentile (flutes)\, Alan Brady (clarinets)\, Tim O’Dell (alto & soprano saxes)\, Adam Kolker (tenor saxophone\, clarinet)\, Justin Mullins (French horn)\, John Carlson (trumpet)\, Jacob Varmus (trumpet\, cornet)\, David Chamberlain (euphonium)\, Dale Turk (bass trombone)\, Frank Carlberg (piano)\, Richard Nelson (guitar)\, Ken Filiano (bass)\, Rob Garcia (drums)\, Todd Isler (percussion). \n  \nAbout Richard Nelson and Dissolve: \n“Nelson’s followers can count on being surprised at how nimbly he can satisfy their appetites: he takes new directions while also satisfying their affection for thoughtfully conceived music that bridges jazz\, classical\, and other forms.”—Steve Feeney\, The Arts Fuse (Boston) \n“… the title track [is] a kaleidoscope of contrapuntal themes that weave in and out of the brass and woodwind sections\, shifting in and out of time and spatial sensibilities in a mysterious narrative\, its peaking followed by a scattering into the ether.” – Gary Fukushima\, DownBeat \n  \nAbout Tim O’Dell: \n“O’Dell designs hypnotic concepts that capture the imagination” – All About Jazz \n“… a perfect album (from O’Dell) . . . great blend of composition and improvisation and it swings! . . . a uniqueness of vision.” – Beyond Coltrane \n“This (O’Dell) is the sound of expanding American art.” – All About Jazz

DESCRIPTION:Joe Pignato\, Drums\, Concepts\nCody Davies\, Sounds\nAnthony Berman\, Acoustic Bass\nMike LaBombard\, Tenor Sax\nTyreek Jackson\, Electric Guitar\nRandall Horton\, Poetry and Voice\nChristian Black\, Poetry and Voice \n \nBright Dog Red returns to ShapeShifter Lab\, celebrating the release of two albums\, Bad Magic and Hegemonitized\, both out on Ropeadope\, April 26\, 2024. The group’s set will feature music that runs “a joyous gamut now synonymous with the BDR brand” (UK Vibe) as well as the poetry of guest vocalists\, Randall Horton (American Book Award Winner) and Christian Black of Heroes Are Gang Leaders.\n \nCelebrated for “sublimely marrying jazz with hip-hop\, funk\, and electronic music” (JazzTimes)\, Bright Dog Red has long been “a fixture on the NYC jazz and improvisation scene” (Jazz Journal). The group’s “proudly unanchored improvisation” (Downbeat) has been described as “part Ornette Coleman and Prime Time\, part Lounge Lizards\, part A Tribe Called Quest” (JazzTimes). The group specializes in “genre-agnostic\, uncategorizable\, and intensely thrilling” improvisation (Glide Magazine). BDR “can potentially appeal to jam-band\, funk\, rock\, or hip-hop devotees ready to raise the roof” (JazzTimes).\n  \n \nBright Dog Red (BDR)\, the alt-jazz\, genre-fluid ensemble from Albany\, New York\, will release two albums simultaneously\, Bad Magic and Hegemonitized\, on April 26\, 2024. The double release marks the ensemble’s sixth and seventh albums since signing with Ropeadope in 2018. Despite being hailed as the “best kept secret in the avant-jazz underground” (JazzTimes)\, BDR continues to produce music with a fervent prolificacy. The group’s “proudly unanchored improvisation” (Downbeat) has been widely lauded for “blending a potpourri of styles\, while presenting a sonic personality and conceptual direction” (Downbeat). Described as “part Ornette Coleman and Prime Time\, part Lounge Lizards\, part A Tribe Called Quest” (JazzTimes)\, others have compared the group to “Mahavishnu Orchestra meets Digable Planets” (Paul Schulman)\, “Romantic Warrior era Return to Forever” (Rimas e Batidas)\, and “electronic Ahmad Jamal” (Don Lucoff).
