With Bloom, five-time Grammy-winning composer and pianist Bill Laurance once again expands his sonic palette. He returned to his classical roots, working with arranger Josh Poole and Manchester's 18-piece Untold Orchestra string section to produce an album of compelling epic scope. Conceptually, Laurance explains that the album was largely inspired by his child's ability to imagine and create other worlds. Combining Laurance's classical sensibilities with jazz, pop grooves and powerful orchestral synchronicity, Bloom journeys through a whole range of emotions and moods. Whether flowing dreamscapes or dramatic crescendos, listeners are taken exactly where they want to be, never veering into the predictable.
