Product Description Organist Sam Yahel, trumpeter Seamus Blake, guitarist Mike Moreno and drummer Ari Hoenig perform jazz interpretations of music from the seminal Pink Floyd album, 'Dark Side Of The Moon.' They achieve the seemingly-impossible as they evoke both the thematic spirit of the original recording and its sonic effects, while maintaining the overall conceptual arc and metaphysical implications of Pink Floyd's suite of songs. The result is remarkably powerful both as a jazz combo statement and as a purist, bare-bones audiophile recording - all the while reasserting the grace, power and musical nuance of the original materials. Personnel: Sam Yahel - (Hammond B-3 organ), Mike Moreno - (electric & acoustic guitars), Ari Hoenig - (drums), Seamus Blake - (tenor saxophone) Review (4 stars) This album is an unlikely winner...They take harmonic liberties but retain the hypnotic, trance-like tone of classic Floyd. -- The Times, (John Bungey), July 19, 2008A carefully understated revisiting of Pink Floyd's masterpiece...Yahel sculpts nuanced textures...while Blake finds inventive new phrasings for the familiar themes. -- Metro, (Robert Shore), April 25, 2008A little treasure...for those who like dark, tight chamber jazz...A vivid, intriguing, witty and most satisfying release. -- Jazzwise, (Andy Robson), June 2008
