Alchemy Sound Project: Adventures in Time and Space

The horn heavy team of Samantha Boshnack/tp-fh, Erica Lindsay/ts,Salim Washington/ts-fl-bcl and Michael Spearman/tb lead a post bopping chamber team with Sumi Tonooka/p, David Arned/b and Johnathan Blake/dr. The tones are rich and impressionistic with Washington’s flute forming pastels on  the dainty “Transition Waltz (For Matt) and the sweet warm tones mixing woodwinds and brass during “Ankh.” Tonooka leads the rhythm team through a pulsating title track and cruises through a modal “Song of the Whistle WInd” as the two horn sections declare back and forth.Sublime and exciting moments abound.
