After releasing my album Portrait Philip Glass in 2008, I wanted to take a deeper dive into the vast œuvre of this composer, an icon of our era and one whose work has and will long continue to have impact. For many years now his fascinating and captivating music has been nourishing me intellectually and musically. Glass being one of the most prolific of composers, there was no shortage of works to include on this my 48th album. My selection approach remains the same; I choose those works I find significant and compelling. Like Glass' work as a whole, the content of this album is very diverse music for theatre and for cinema, for chamber and for symphony orchestra, and recent works as well as some written almost 50 years ago! Thank you for giving me carte blanche to revisit these works with my ensemble. (Angèle Dubeau) Album Tracks 1. Glassworks~Opening 4. Koyaanisqatsi~Koyaanisqatsi 11. Sonata for Violin & Piano~Movement III

Digitally re-mastered edition of this 1979 album from the Jazz drummer and composer. House of Spirit Mirth was originally released on the composer Oliver Lake's bespoke private-press tag Passin Thru' Inc., a not for profit tag 'dedicated to fostering, promoting and advancing the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the arts'. Consequently House of Spirit remains one of the most elusive deep Jazz releases of it's time to collectors. Aklaff was an original of the Detroit Jazz scene of the early '70s alongside musicians of the Tribe (Wendell Harrison, Phil Ranelin, Doug Hammond) and Strata collective (Kenny Cox and Charles Moore) and local luminaries such as Travis Biggs before moving to New York in the mid-1970s to work at the centre of the vibrant Loft/radical jazz scene.
