Mandorla Music presents a release concert for Blue Salience: for Yusef Lateef, just out' from Jason Robinson’s Janus Orchestra on the Circumvention Music label.
Blue Salience is a kaleidoscopic sound journey inspired by and dedicated to the late Dr. Yusef Lateef, a towering figure in American music. Across 135 minutes and 13 pieces, Robinson maps striking, expansive sound worlds that defy simple categorization, ranging from jazz and modern classical music to irresistibly danceable grooves and heady abstraction.
The 17-piece Janus Orchestra features leading figures in the jazz and creative music scenes of New York, Boston, and Lateef’s long-time home of western Massachusetts,
Jason Robinson: composer &amp; conductor, saxophones, flutes, percussion, spoken word
Reeds: Allan Chase, Mark Zaleski, Felipe Salles, Ian Buss, Brian Landrus
Trumpets: Bijon Watson, Mark Tipton, Haneef Nelson, Zoe Murphy
Trombones: Randy Pingrey, Chris Gagne, Angel Subero, Bill Lowe
