Travail, Transformation and Flow
Travail, Transformation, and Flow is an important new recording from the Steve
Lehman Octet that marks the first fully realized exploration of spectral harmony in the history of recorded jazz. In spectral music, instrumental
overtones are blended together to create striking new harmonies, which
Lehman has astonishingly adapted as a platform for jazz improvisation.
The result is an all-encompassing musical universe that advances a singular conception of rhythm, harmony, and improvisational form.
