The compositions seek to demonstrate the freedom and present-ness that can be found in deep musical structures. The music also reflects the underlying order that can be found in even the most complex appearing natural objects. The musicians are given space to let their individuality shine through while also playing energetically with a sympathetic group dynamic navigating intricate passages with a relaxed, fluid feel. Great sounding album featuring top NYC musicians. mattpanayides.com
