On the Winter Solstice, December 21, 2019, Michael Moss' Accidental Orchestra presents the last four movements of Qabbala::Entanglement, a twelve movement suite inspired by Michael Moss' long study of Eastern mythology, physics, and Jungian analytical psychology.
The Accidental Orchestra is a cross between a big band and an orchestra. Using improvisation over an extended compositional structure, Moss builds on the foundation of jazz as he uses each of the twelve movements to express a sephira or โlimbโ of the Tree of Life. "Moss' astute penchant for melding the outside parameters of jazz with imaginative compositions and a wide-ranging improvisational platform delivers the knockout punch (Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz, June 7, 2018)."...
