"Book of Omens" – Coming July 9th, 2013!!! 

Unsayable Absence is an exploration of cross-genre pollination over the backdrop of jazz; an experiment in stretching to the edge of the universe with one foot on the ground; a testament to the soul.The phrase “Unsayable Absence” is taken from a Rumi poem entitled Listening. This poem is appropriately inscribed on the ceiling of the Blue Whale directly above the stage. For me the “unsayable absence” is the space in one’s heart that opens when ego is purged – a space where the energy of the universe can enter, grow, and ultimately transport one to a higher state of consciousness.

“Throughout Fallen Angeles, Daniel Rosenboom’s writing and the sound of the ensemble is unlike anything heard before. This is jazz for the 21st century, an impressive effort well worth several listens.”

- Scott Yanow, author of ten books including Trumpet Kings, Jazz On Record 1917-76 and Jazz On Film

In the summer of 2010, composer and creative trumpet artist Daniel Rosenboom conceived a suite of music for progressive jazz septet, exploring the nature of self-discovery through introspection. Enlisting the expertise of some of Los Angeles’s most innovative musicians, Rosenboom created the Daniel Rosenboom Septet to record Fallen Angeles in June of 2010.

“Daniel Rosenboom’s trumpet and electronics tour de force Evolution caputres all the gravity of ’70s prog rock with a dramatic flair of Freddy Mercury -proportions…Rosenboom goes for the jugular both rhythmically and melodically, running through time signatures like a box of Kleenex at an AA meeting.”

Low and Inside: Music for Baritone Saxophones – Vinny Golia Octet

“Woodwind multi-instrumentalist Vinny Golia has been both the beacon and a touchstone for the West Coast free improvising community, particularly in Los Angeles, for over 30 years…Golia has been making terrific records for eons, but even amongst his excellent catalog, Music For Baritone Saxophone is a highlight achievement. For starters, the octet assembled is loaded with virtuoso players interpreting very creative music with exquisite arrangements. Somehow Golia has managed to produce one of his most accessible records in years without compromising a bit on his originality.” – Robert Bush, All About Jazz

How Much Better If Plymouth Rock Had Landed On The Pilgrims – David Rosenboom

Washington Post, 1970:“If there were a device whereby one could plug into the deepest levels of human consciousness, and then translate this input into sound, what we would hear would probably resemble How Much Better if Plymouth Rock Had Landed on the Pilgrims, the radical composition by David Rosenboom . . . The elemental pulsations of the piece seem to echo not only our fundamental biological cycles, but those innate psychical tides that govern the flux of human thought and feeling . . . The listener becomes receptive to fantasy and hallucination and instants seem stretched to eternities . . . Rosenboom’s idiom poses a new esthetic . . . against the ascetic, disciplined, puritanical streak that one associates in this country with the Pilgrims, this new music hurls a rejuvenated sensuality and mysticism.”

This is the world-premiere recording of the complete work.

LEEF – The Industrial Jazz Group

In its eight-year history, the IJG has developed a reputation for slightly quirky, genre-bending jazz: what leader Andrew Durkin calls “avant garde party music.” Critics consistently cite the group’s broad, entertaining appeal; as Tom Bowden of Educational Digest explains, “Durkin writes music that people who think they hate jazz would like.” Scott Yanow of LA Jazz Scene, who compares the IJG to Holland’s Willem Breuker Kollektief, enthusiastically calls the group “both a crack up and a memorable musical experience,” and the IJG’s quirky sonic stew was once summed up by Brandt Reiter of the LA Weekly as both “cerebral and swinging, ambitious and accessible, challengingly complex and unabashedly fun.”
