Book III, the latest from Transvalue features the genre-bending, improvisationally-friendly compositions of trombonist/composer Michael Vlatkovich (Vinny Golia, Rob Blakeslee) that support, surround and interact with the writings and vocal performances of spoken word artist, Chuck Britt. Recorded and produced by drummer/percussionist, David Crigger (Don Ellis, Passport), Book III is the next step in Transvalue’s ongoing exploration of the inner depths of human interaction and the outer reaches of jazz... and where both come together as one.
Transvalue – Book III’s blending of spoken word performance and avante garde large ensemble jazz is performed by a fourteen piece ensemble with eight horn players, that besides Vlatkovich, include multi-woodwind virtuoso, Vinny Golia and tuba artist, Bill Roper, and a rhythm section consisting of pianist Glenn Horiuchi, bassist Domenic Genova along with Crigger on drums, percussion, loops and additional keyboards. Also featured are Melanie Cracchiolo and Chuck Sabatino on vocals, Warren Hartman on keyboards, and many others.
