Vol 5 of the This Music/TM series

This Music (TM) Series is a Boston musician’s initiative to recognize the creativity of many who haven’t been given the stage as leaders, often younger than the Jazz scene veterans; those with acknowledgement who can create a new project and musical ideas; and the unsung “gems” who aren’t in the public’ eye and deserve to be.

The emphasis is on the freer forms, the adventurous (to help find a “home”).

Bios:

Eric Dahlman Eric is a performer, band leader, composer and recording artist with three CD’s. Dahlman plays trumpet more than any other instrument, but also handles flugelhorn, Tibetan bell, hunting horn, "pinecones," harps, flute, whirling drum, and numerous other instruments. Very broadly speaking, he's working in the fields merging jazz and contemporary composition, though the traces of Miles Davis, Jon Hassell, and Louis Armstrong. He has performed with free jazz icon Hal Russell & his NRG Ensemble, Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, Travis Chandler Philharmonic, Auddity, Rakalam Bob Moses, Avant Unguarded. Dahlman has appeared on Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty’s Discovery Channel soundtrack “Bridges". His music appears in the documentary film “The Bear Cult” (2015 Hyperion). Eric studied with Ingrid Monson, Dave Frank, Anthony Davis & John Luther Adams.

Keiichi Hashimoto

“Hashimoto is valuable addition to a band that seemed in no particular need of fixing. He blends beautifully with Hobbs and Shanko in ensembles that might be described as shaded unisons; and his solos, uncommonly clean for free brass playing, are of a piece with the leader's hypnotically intense statements while employing far fewer notes”.
