About this product
An ambitious, multifaceted composer, saxophonist and bandleader, Andrew Rathbun had used poetry as an inspirational catalyst for several recordings over the last 20 years. Particularly enamored by the works of famed novelist Margaret Atwood, Rathbun composed three suites for large ensemble featuring her poems and the unique voices of trumpeter Tim Hagans, drummer Bill Stewart and vocalists Luciana Souza and Aubrey Johnson, who vividly capture the imagery and emotions of Atwood's poetry. Rathbun's rich, multi-textured compositions and his use of the large ensemble as his musical voice was largely influenced by collaborations with the late, and legendary, trumpeter/composer Kenny Wheeler in the early 2000s. Wheeler's supple, dark tones floating over the group and Luciano Souza's voice bringing to life Atwood's poetry inspired Rathbun to more deeply explore these concepts. InchRathbun's lines dance and glide, reflecting both childlike wonder and well-honed artistry.Inch - JazzTimes

![Murena,Tony / Privat,Jo - L'integrale Paris Musette 1990-1997 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/bc4f3977-5289-43ea-85fe-c90489682741.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Each album in the 3 album set Paris Musette is a reference for every fan of InchmusetteInch accordion in the whole world. This series initiated by producers Franck Bergerot and Didier Roussin for the tag founded by Patrick Tandin aimed to provide the best recording conditions possible for major artists in a genre that had fallen out of favour, despite the fact that their repertoire was nothing less than the 'world music' of France in the pre- and post-war years. The first 3 volumes in the series appeared in 1990, 1993 and 1997 respectively, and were phenomenally successful in making the accordion a desirable instrument again, not only in World and Jazz circles but also in popular song. Returning to it's origins, and once again a 'legitimate' style, the music of Paris Musette spread to Canada, the United States and Asia, while the musicians played on world tours. The series sold more than 100, 000 copies and was licensed to Sony for distribution in Japan.
Limited violet marbled vinyl LP pressing. Reissue of this 2012 from the Modesto-based shoegaze band.
