A Super Audio CD player is required to take advantage of the SACD sound technology. Michael Blake Sextet Amor De Cosmos Album With his 2007 album, AMOR DE COSMOS, veteran jazz saxophonist Michael Blake leads his ensemble, which includes trumpet player Brad Turner and pianist Chris Gestrin, on a vibrant set of post-bop jazz. Never one to shy away from avant-garde experimentalism, Blake balances his outré leanings with serene passages and hypnotic grooves, as on "Ghostlines" and "Temporary Constellation," respectively.
Michael Blake Sextet: Michael Blake (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Brad Turner (trumpet); Chris Gestrin (piano, electric piano, electronics); Sal Ferreras (marimba, percussion); Andre Lachance (acoustic bass); Dylan Van Der Schyff (drums).
Amor De Cosmos CD Down Beat (p.68) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "AMOR DE COSMOS captures every facet of Blake's significant talents, letting his improvisations, arrangements and compositions thrive on equal footing."
JazzTimes (p.76) - "The music is typical of Blake, drawing on free improvisation, modern classical forms, backbeat funk, straightahead swing, calypso and whatever falls into the cracks separating those idioms." Purchase Amor De Cosmos CD Click on price to add to cart | | Also Bought |

Monk's Music (1957)
 $17.15 
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
This historic 1957 session, beginning with Monk's favorite hymn ("Abide With Me") and ending with the composer's most affecting ballad ("Crepescule With Nellie"), functions as an overview of his career. As such, MONK'S MUSIC, Thelonious' fifth album for the Riverside label, is a shot across the bow of the hard bop movement.
A cubist intro by Monk and Wilbur Ware sets the tone for an extended seven-piece rendition of the pianist's classic "Well, You Needn't," with a fiery underpinning by Art Blakey. Monk is at his angular, bluesy best, opening with Charlie Christian-like percussive accents. He grows more taciturn in the second chorus, unleashing some of his most dynamic rhythmic devices before crying out for "Coltrane, Coltrane."

DJANGO puts these qualities on display, with variety and technical prowess to spare. The title track, a tribute to Gypsy guitar-king Django Reinhardt, written by pianist John Lewis, sets the stage with its bop excursions and change-ups from cool swing to minor-key moodiness (which also appropriately mirrors ...
