About the album

Composer/trombonist Doug Scarborough presents a compelling collection of new works, fusing music of the West - jazz, with overtones of classical and prog rock - and traditional Middle Eastern elements. Setting the stage with his 2015 release Bridges, where he introduced the trombone to the world as an instrument capable of expressively playing Arabic scales (maqamat), The Color of Angels is a riveting follow-up as he retains the dynamic core of collaborators, Jeremy Siskind on piano, bassist Damian Erskine, and engineer/producer Bob Stark, while adding the distinct voices of violin virtuoso Akram Abdulfattah, Mustafa Boztüy on darbuka and the dynamic drummer, Reinhardt Melz. Possibly reminiscent of some recent projects by Nate Smith, Ibrahim Maalouf, or bassist Avishai Cohen, Scarborough's musical vision is exciting, surprising and cinematic in scope.
Der Komponist und Posaunist Doug Scarborough präsentiert eine fesselnde Sammlung neuer Werke, in denen westliche Musik - Jazz mit Anklängen an Klassik und Prog-Rock - mit traditionellen Elementen des Nahen Ostens verschmilzt. The Color of Angels ist eine fesselnde Fortsetzung seines 2015 erschienenen Albums Bridges, in dem er die Posaune als ein Instrument vorstellte, das in der Lage ist, arabische Tonleitern (maqamat) ausdrucksvoll zu spielen. Er behält den dynamischen Kern seiner Partner Jeremy Siskind (Klavier), Damian Erskine (Bass) und Bob Stark (Tontechniker/Produzent) bei, fügt aber die Stimmen des Geigenvirtuosen Akram Abdulfattah, Mustafa Boztüy (Darbuka) und des dynamischen Schlagzeugers Reinhardt Melz hinzu. Scarboroughs musikalische Vision, die möglicherweise an einige der jüngsten Projekte von Nate Smith, Ibrahim Maalouf oder dem Bassisten Avishai Cohen erinnert, ist aufregend, überraschend und von großer Tragweite.
