Like with Mingus, it explodes, rumbles, and radiates. Telest the MegaOctet: a little more than a small group, a little less than a big band. The most knowledgeable, the craziest of inhabited worlds.\" FRANCIS MARMANDE Nearly 30 years after its creation, Andy Emler's MegaOctet is still this \"laboratory of the most beautiful audacity\" and a collective of musicians transcending trends, whose virtuosity and generosity have hardly any equivalent in the landscape. Two years after Obsession 3, a constraint-based album commissioned by German radio and widely acclaimed by critics, A moment for... once again highlights the eight virtuosos who have been at the service of this extraordinary music for 10, 20, or 30 years. This new album is driven by the beauty of the gesture and the energy of the exceptional composer that is Andy Emler. The mixed energies of these nine companions form a sensitive and large machine of nine souls that magnifies Andy Emler's writing. The new repertoire, composed by Andy Emler, is rooted in the idea of suspending time to question our social and cultural environment. The compositions are the musical setting of reflections on human relationships at the beginning of the 21st century (with Move in...or, Move out...if), a statement: \"we must react, and quickly\" (with Stand up and... blow). The skillful blend of written and improvised music engages the listener both through its balance and its volubility.","brand":"Andy Emler Megaoctet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57649748279640,"sku":null,"price":23551816.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/andy-emler-megaoctet_a-moment-for_2018_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
