The fact that the bassist has been an integral part of the creative music scene for several decades speaks for his creativity and versatility. Now Michael Formanek presents the long-awaited second album with his groundbreaking Elusion Quartet, which brings together four highly acclaimed musicians from the New York jazz scene - pianist Kris Davis, saxophonist Tony Malaby and drummer Ches Smith. \"As Things Do is yet another testament to Formanek's encyclopedic conception.[...] Michael Formanek is that rare musician who, all the while retaining absolute integrity and focus, can let the music range where it will: in his own words, letting things go where they're going to go, As Things Do\" writes Alexander Hawkins in the liner notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Bury the Lede \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Rewind \u003cbr\u003e1.3 In Turn \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Rockaway Beach \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Cracked Bells \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Entropy \u003cbr\u003e1.7 I Don't Think So \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Gone Home\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael Formanek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40043659821127,"sku":"43470242","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4205966-2968020.jpg?v=1711796298","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/michael-formanek-elusion-quartet-as-things-do","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
