Dan Blake -The Aquarian Suite (Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records 2011)

This recording features eight jazz compositions for “chordless quartet” that stretch the boundaries of modern jazz while staying true to the forms set by the masters. By connecting to a rich musical heritage and claiming it as my own, the Aquarian Suite is for me a “water bearer”, a sonic body through which a hopeful transition between tradition and the potential for a greater future can flow easefully and with great joy.
