| | Robert Mike Mahaffay The Gone Orchestra Presents Perry Robinson And The Eternal Flame CD Robert Mike Mahaffay Discography of CDs
The MMA is a Record label that chronicles the work of Mike Mahaffay going back to the early 1970's. His music is so filled with the reality of our being/existence that it is no longer something we do; it has become something that is. Improvisation is the core of his work: spontaneous creation. It is through the music, in both the individual and collective sense, that the process of self-realization takes place. "The soul who is seeking the path of spiritual awakening is in search of the formless God. It is music that has beauty, power, and charm, and at the same time raises the soul beyond form". Hazarat Inayat Khan"...The Eternal Flame" was a series of recordings made on a recent trip in 2000 by Perry Robinson to The Pacific Northwest. Robinson still remains loyal to the clarinet at a time when the number of artists who do so exclusively can, even today, still be counted on almost one hand (and virtually none improvise regularly on the small sopranino version of the horn, as Perry does). Most importantly, few practitioners of any instrument have quite the mixture of influences and experience that this singing, versatile player has. Burton Greene comments that "boxes, categories, separatism have little meaning for him. And therefore in his music... whatever he plays is always right on. I can't imagine anyone not liking Perry's music with its immediate warmth and personal communication--and even though some people might term it 'far out. ' That's rare--to be able to create new ideas, not what is commonly accepted in the mainstream, and still bring it across immediately to a lot of people." Perry Robinson continues to produce a thoroughly unique clarinet sound and accompanying style. The best of American melodic streams, both traditional and avant-garde, can be heard simultaneously in this fascinating musician.
