Coordinates

For trumpeter-composer-producer Dan Rosenboom, there are no boundaries when it comes to making music. Genre distinctions are meaningless, unusual combinations of instruments are a hallmark, and sources of inspiration are as numerous as the stars. His expansive and explosive new album Coordinates is a multi-faceted exploration of self through the lenses of found numerical patterns, cosmic temporal imagination, orchestrational possibility, and true friendship. It spans the stylistic universe from progressive jazz to metal, world, symphonic, and chamber music sensibilities and features 28 virtuoso musicians from the Los Angeles jazz scene and Hollywood film recording studios. Through an idiosyncratic approach to rhythm and complex unfolding compositions, Rosenboom presents a programmatic concept album that is as sonically rich as it is emotionally riveting.
