Limited edition 6 paneles DIGI pack CD kiadvány, 2023-as album.
6 panel digisleeve with complete liner notes by Michael Ambrosino. Album art by Nadja von Massow / nad.works. Within the galaxy of contemporary Jazz, albums often come with expectations that artists present their music in ways listeners can easily appreciate or readily understand. Makram’s orbit revolves around a slightly different sensibility, one where a gorgeous collage of music speaks to the meticulous preparation, world-class artistry and personal chemistry which Joe Locke is advancing at this point in his career. Challenging, complex, familiar but with a contemporary and international flare, this recording incorporates a dynamic quartet, effortless arranging spiced with just the right blend of instrumentation, curious meters, honorable sentiments and kinship – music that exemplifies Joe Locke’s intimate connection to his band, his audience, and most importantly himself.
Joe Locke is widely considered to be one of the major voices of the vibraphone, a soloist of stunning physical power + broad emotional range as composer + band leader. He has won numerous awards + polls, incl. multiple JJA Mallet Player of the Year awards. He is an active educator, appointed International Vibraphone Consultant by the RAM, London w/ the title of Honorary Associate of the Academy.
