Particularly enamored by the works of famed novelist Margaret Atwood, Rathbun composed three suites for large ensemble featuring her poems and the unique voices of trumpeter Tim Hagans, drummer Bill Stewart and vocalists Luciana Souza and Aubrey Johnson, who vividly capture the imagery and emotions of Atwood's poetry. Rathbun's rich, multi-textured compositions and his use of the large ensemble as his musical voice was largely influenced by collaborations with the late, and legendary, trumpeter\/composer Kenny Wheeler in the early 2000s. Wheeler's supple, dark tones floating over the group and Luciano Souza's voice bringing to life Atwood's poetry inspired Rathbun to more deeply explore these concepts. \"Rathbun's lines dance and glide, reflecting both childlike wonder and well-honed artistry.\" - JazzTimes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Two Islands I \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Two Islands II \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Two Islands III \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Power Politics I \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Power Politics II \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Power Politics III \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Fractured \u003cbr\u003e2.2 V \u003cbr\u003e2.3 I \u003cbr\u003e2.4 II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
