| The Richard Sussman Quintet Playing Music From Their New CD The Richard Sussman Quintet (Joe Magnarelli-tpt, Tim Ries- tnr sx, Mike Richmond-bs, Jeff Williams-dr, Richard Sussman-pno & synth) playing music from their new CD "Continuum" (Origin Records) at the Smalls on Thurs., Nov. 1st. Continuum - a continuous non-spatial whole or extent or succession in which no part or portion is distinct or distinguishable from adjacent parts - the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past. Although circumstances and events may appear to change dramatically over time, there is always a thread running through it all, establishing a continuity of consciousness and spirit. "Continuum" – the composition and recording – represents the integration and coalescence of a wide variety of musical and stylistic experiences spanning several decades, illustrating the continuity or "Continuum" through many seemingly disparate elements of my musical journey. To provide continuity for this project, I reassembled the band from "Free Fall" (with the exception of Tom Harrell and Larry Schneider), my first studio recording as a leader, recorded in 1978. I feel equally privileged and excited to be joined for this performance by the superb Joe Magnarelli, Steve Wilson, Cameron Brown, and Jeff Williams. - -Richard Sussman write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Jazz News :: home page |
