Search - Barrett Martin Group :: Transcendence

Grammy-winning producer, drummer, and composer Barrett Martin returns with his future jazz ensemble and their 6th studio album, ''Transcendence.'' The album features 15 tracks that focus on the themes of spiritual evolution, while simultaneously fusing musical elements from around the world. The BMG ensemble makes music that often defies description, fusing elements of jazz, African, Cuban and Brazilian music, ambient and classical music, and a mixture of exotic percussion that includes everything from Indonesian gamelans, to gongs, to handmade instruments. As Barrett Martin often describes it, ''Our music is a kind of sonic-painting for the mind, and that's really the best term I can think of to describe our music. It?'s a kind of sound-sculpture-painting.''
