Product DescriptionBandleader Greg Tate 'plays the band' using a technique called conduction which was developed by jazz conductor Butch Morris. When the band plays live, they often do so with little more than a concept or melody in mind, drawing upon the moods and energy in the room, ending in a one-time composition that could not have been predicted nor repeated. Their new album, Making Love to the Dark Ages, presents the band in its largest format, and draws on their signature group improvisation as well as tapping into studio recording techniques. The album speaks for itself: a tasty mix of history and contemporary. A spicy blend of jazz, improv, innovation and composition.
