Our Take

In the vast galaxy of experimental jazz, Rob Mazurek and his Exploding Star Orchestra shine like a supernova with their latest release, "Lightning Dreamers".

From the moment the first note hits your ears, you are transported to a cosmic realm where saxophones wail like celestial bodies colliding, and trumpets blare like intergalactic signals. It's a wild ride through the sonic universe, and Mazurek is your captain, guiding you through pulsating rhythms and fiery improvisations.

The instrumentation on this album is nothing short of mind-blowing. The combination of brass, strings, and electronics creates a wall of sound that engulfs the listener in a whirlwind of sound. It's like being swept up in a tornado of avant-garde jazz, and you can't help but surrender to its exhilarating power.

But what truly sets "Lightning Dreamers" apart is its ability to seamlessly blend complexity with accessibility. Each track is a journey in itself, with intricate melodic structures and unconventional time signatures that keep you on your toes. Yet, at the same time, there's a sense of playfulness and joy that runs throughout the album, inviting you to let go of your preconceptions and just dance to the music.

In conclusion, Rob Mazurek and his Exploding Star Orchestra have crafted a masterpiece that defies categorisation and leaves you craving for more. "Lightning Dreamers" is a thunderous triumph in the world of modern jazz, and a testament to the boundless creativity of its creators. Strap in, and prepare for lift-off.
