The sound didn't let go of me, and I thought I had to do something with it; I even had some good ideas right away.\" The combination of jazz and strings has a long tradition, and the album \"Charlie Parker with Strings\" is generally regarded as the beginning of this symbiosis. Grethen also has a preference for the silky sounds. \"When all the strings play together beautifully, they act like one big instrument,\" he said. \"This great sound that can come from it fascinates me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Change \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Transcendence \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Intro to State of Mind \u003cbr\u003e1.4 State of Mind \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Delirium \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Until the Moon Went Down \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Intro to Forgetful \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Forgetful \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Outside \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Contemplation\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gilles Grethen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39865253429319,"sku":"43078035","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4144498-3139377.jpg?v=1712401950","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/gilles-grethen-state-of-mind","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
