T.K. Blue | Latin Bird (Avail Now)

“Latin Bird” Is Motéma Music Debut by Alto Saxophonist T.K. Blue

As the New York-born son of parents
from Jamaica and Trinidad, and a mainstay of jazz master Randy Weston’s
band since 1980, T.K. Blue is profoundly fluent in the various musical
styles of Africa and the African Diaspora. On his new CD “Latin Bird,”
which will be released March 8 by Motéma Music, he applies those skills
and sensibilities to the music of Charlie “Bird” Parker, one of his
major early inspirations.

Richmond, CA (PRWEB) February 11, 2011

T.K. Blue’s new CD “Latin Bird,” his first for Motéma Music
and ninth as a leader, takes the alto saxophonist back to his musical
and personal beginnings. Charlie “Bird” Parker was a major early
inspiration for T.K., and eight of Parker’s classic compositions are
ingeniously reworked in Afro-Cuban, Caribbean, Brazilian, and New
Orleans second-line rhythms. To continue, please click “MORE”!

REVISITS BAND’S GROUNDBREAKING CONCEPTS FROM

THEIR GRAMMY NOMINATED BLUE NOTE ALBUMS
 

Unconventional.
Unheard of. Some might add unreal. Upon first listen, you’ll be struck
by the startling freshness and flat-out nerve that have become hallmark
sounds of Animation, the best rock & jazz mélange you’ve never heard
of.

 

With two Grammy nominated Blue Note CDs, animation * imagination (1999) and re*animation LIVE!
(2000), the group has raised the bar for experimental music, carrying
with it infectious tinges of hip-hop, trip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass, fusion
and whatever your own imagination might add with each new listen.

 

The journey continues with Asiento, the group’s long-overdue album to be released on the UK-based RareNoiseRecords. Spearheaded by music visionaries Bob Belden (producer/saxophone), Tim Hagans (trumpet) and keyboardist/synth Scott Kinsey (keyboard/synthesizer), as well as Matt Garrison (bass), Guy Licata (drums) and DJ Logic (turntables), Animation re-imagines the landmark 1969 Miles Davis release Bitches Brew.
