Assembling an all-star nonet of friends, teachers and colleagues, Olsen crafted settings that would showcase the musicians in some very different musical environments. From the harsh electric landscape of \"Dark Sun\" to the jaunty swing of \"Illogical Conclusion,\" the band, including trumpeter Bobby Shew, saxophonists Dick Oatts and Lynn Baker, and pianist John Harmon, were given free rein to wander through these soundscapes and add their unique voices to the proceedings. The result is a CD that moves from straight-ahead swing and balladry to Stravinskian rhythmic constructions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Scary Hair \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Dark Sun \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Illogical Conclusion \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Shard \u003cbr\u003e1.5 What Needs to Be Said \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Wistful \u003cbr\u003e1.7 We See Stars \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Running Amok\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.
