Rob Clearfield - Ashes and Diamonds


Pianist and composer Rob Clearfield presents Ashes and Diamonds, a 5-movement work exploring the nature of transitions from one era to another, and how cataclysmic events bring about both positive and negative changes. With a title borrowed from Andrzej Wadja's 1958 film, Rob Clearfield's cinematic approach to composition is on full display as he and his quartet (feat. Greg Ward, Sam Weber, and Quin Kirchner) blur the lines between modern jazz and contemporary classical vocabularies and paradigms.

The whole Bonk Wave thing originated on Mastodon , and that is where most of the posting and conversation is, but it does stretch out into a few other independent music communities like Lines and STBB Forever .
