It is a perfect example of creative music looking to the future while expressing the sound of now. The amazing chemistry and collective language amongst the musicians reflects their many years of developing and performing Rudolph's concept. These musicians each have direct and personal connections to the roots and history of jazz as they have performed with and have been mentored by key figures in 20th century creative music such as Ornette Coleman, Yusef Lateef, Roy Haynes, Don Cherry, Sam Rivers, Jon Hassel, and many more. The exceptional and modern recorded sound of Glare of the Tiger was done by long-time collaborator James Dellatacoma, head engineer at Bill Laswell's Orange Music Studio. "This recording is the fullest realization of aesthetic and concept, which I have been developing for the past three decades. My aim was to compose music that inspired the musicians to express their inner voice, while still maintaining a clear focus on aesthetic and overall sound. It is my feeling that to honor tradition, one should look forward and not backward. The tradition is to sound like yourself and create a NEW music that reflects the NOW. To put it another way, Yusef Lateef often said to me, "Brother Adam, we are evolutionists." - Adam Rudolph 1 Glare of the Tiger 13:44 2 Interlude One 0:25 3 Ecstaticized 5:43 4 Interlude Two 0:21 5 Rotations 6:00 6 Dialogics 4:06 7 Ciresque 7:31 8 Interlude Three 0:39 9 Lehra 3:08 10 Wonderings 12:43 11 Interlude Four 0:44 All music composed and arranged by Adam Rudolph (Migration Music BMI) Recorded June 2016 at Orange Music Sound Studio, New Jersey Recording, mix and mastering by James Dellatacoma Design by Sylvain Leroux Cover Art by Nancy Jackson Produced by Adam Rudolph Thanks to Bill Laswell, Michael Lucio Sternbach, Scott Alves Barton, C.
