Miles From the Dead

The Cool Jazz Ensemble

Price $16.97

Percussion at its best. What began as an impromptu jam session, metamorphosed into an elegant ensemble of sound. Rhythmic, pulsing, sinuous...this very talented group of musicians add their expertise with a variety of musical tools from traditional drums and percussion to totally hi-tech industrial digeridoos and homemade horns. The result is a hypnotically rhythmic pastiche whose beat begins in your toes and then travels all the way up your body until you just have to dance.
