Great disc, and a good remaster, although it seems (I haven't compared them) the Analogue Productions SACD is better.

Time for some Miles.

Maria Schneider Orchestra - DATA LORDS
ArtistShare (2020), 24/96 files

This is Maria Schneider’s latest release, only available from ArtistShare direct as a download or CD. From the website:

“...these days, I feel my life greatly impacted by two very polarized worlds: the digital world, and the organic world. While one world clamors desperately for our constant attention, the other really doesn’t need any of us at all. Amidst the noise and the clamoring, it now requires great effort for us to take real breaks from the digital world so that we can fully access the organic world that sustains us. Feeling both of these opposite worlds represented in my recent music, I have decided to make this a two-album release reflecting these two polar extremes.”

The performances are excellent, and the music is involving, although sometimes a bit challenging.

Wise words...

Excellent album.
You can sense the joy the musicians had when they were playing.
Hodges' sax sound is as always delicious.

This album is one of the lesser known Ellington gems.
Wonderful.
Hodges had such a beautiful sound...
