freejazzy They've got style. The bandleader leaves space for all the magicians to fill in. Actually díscovered Aaron Parks here - ain't this cool? Adorable music. I'm somehow especially fond of the classic tune. Favorite track: I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face (feat. Aaron Parks).

Chuck Beers Sr. I'm totally in favor of this debut album! Since this is so special, it's hard to imagine how great the next one could be. Enjoy folks

Florian Arbenz Wow! This recording is a real killer, check it out! Contemporary Jazz at it's best. Great line up and very inspiring playing. I was introduced to Hermon through Jorge Vistel who plays trumpet in my Convergence project. Hermon was supposed to play as sub one of the Convergence-gigs, unfortunately cancelled due to Corona.... I really hope to share the stage with him soon! Favorite track: Tatra.

Dizzy Atmosphere
by Dave Douglas

supported by 8 fans who also own “Bleu”

This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Florian Arbenz

Little Big II: Dreams of a Mechanical Man
by Aaron Parks

supported by 7 fans who also own “Bleu”

A story of sadness, confusion, and despair ending in hope and certainty that the cosmos is not a random and meaningless jumble of atoms populated by mindless mechanical men, but a world of meaning, beauty, and truth. Emotions and the heart are not everything, but they are an essential part of being human. ianjworsomething
