October
2000, Aardvark Jazz Orchestra released their fifth CD, The Seeker on
Leo Lab Records.
Contents include
the powerful Afro-jazz grooves of title track “The Seeker” (written for the
Fifteenth Annual John Coltrane Memorial Concert), the evocative winds and
piano of “Heartsong” (dedicated to Nobel Peace Prize recipient and Burmese
democracy activist Daw Aung San Suu Kyi) and the multifaceted forty minute
opus “Passages/Psalms IV” as given this past April in its premiere performance
at MIT. This is imaginative, high energy music for the open ear, mind and
heart.
All these works were recorded in live performance and feature stellar individual, collective and conductor’s improvisation threaded through complex structures to produce challenging and risk-taking large ensemble music for the new millennium.
Praise
from Jazz Improv:
"an unapologetic creative edge"
In
the winter issue of Jazz Improv,
Aardvark's fifth CD, The Seeker, received a glowing review. Jazz journalist
Rick Helzer spoke of Aardvark presenting "another vital direction in
large ensemble composed and improvised music...with an unapologetic creative
edge." Many of the band's stellar soloists were singled out for praise
and Helzer noted that each "played with conviction and passion."
