Synopsis

Album Description
Organized pandemonium rules as master pianist, composer, and percussionist Mick Rossi lets fly with a set of sparklingly virtuosic mini-melodramas for quintet. Recorded live in one take, this recording offers mindblowing playing and improvisation from a crackshot ensemble ... enough to transport you to another world. The music ? an extension of his previous quintet recording, They Have a Word for Everything ? blurs and blends, cavorting its way through the CD, masterfully engaging the listener with familiar elements of pop coolness, cinematic suspense, heartstring-pulling divaesque showbiz, and slick cartoon hijinks. His life experiences, his experiences as a musical artist, and his experiences in the entertainment industry all combine to inform his music. "...rife with imagery ... Rossi can go from orchestra pit animation ... to brooding romanticism, his style capable of both light, almost transparent, musings to hearty, chromatic exposition ála là Keith Jarrett."" ?John Ephland, Down Beat ".a full-bodied avant story telling character and personality that successfully encompasses various vistas at once.. it resembles a well designed and written graphic novel.. Even better, there isn't any of the brooding moods or insincerity laden jaded-isms so common among so-called creative musicians." ?Javier Antonio Quiñones Ortiz, All About Jazz-New York
