Search - Rent Romus Jazz On the Line, Chico Freeman :: Thundershine

Originally this CD was released in 1994 under the title In The Moment". Due to unforeseen circumstances it was never properly made available to the public. In 1992 this was Rent Romus' first major CD productions and his third jazz album. Working with Chico Freeman for Romus was "a childhood dream". Early in his years of musical discovery Chico was one of two major influences on his development (Arthur Blythe being the other). With the support of the now defunct Oakland based Jazz In Flight, private donors, and band funds, this project of original music was made a reality. It also reflects a style of the jazz idiom that Chico himself had a strong hand in forging twenty years before this was recorded. With his inspiration and guidance the band was able to bring this style to the sound stage during four concerts in Oakland, San Francisco and Santa Cruz California in October 1992.
