Roberto Magris Space Trek - ALIENS IN A BEBOP PLANET (JMood 004 – 2 CD Set 2012)


JMood Records is pleased to announce the release of Roberto Magris Space Trek double CD project entitled “Aliens In a Bebop Planet.”
 Jazz impresario Paul Collins states, “Aliens In A Bebop Planet is a beautiful jazz portrait in which Roberto Magris plays a musical alien that has landed on a musical planet and excitedly stumbles across a past jazz era full of rich bebop classics. He meticulously gathers some of the best jazz compositions from this space trek and brings them home to investigate, study, then, uses them to become a better jazz musician. So, like an alien that has landed on a bebop planet, Roberto has since been studying in real earnest to recover lost musical treasures then extract the essence of a people and legends in an era gone by but not forgotten. That is not without making his musical contributions from this exciting space trek.”
The result is a jazz masterpiece! Included in the double CD set are 13 new compositions and 5 revisited standards in addition to JMood Records original audio notebook.
