Clark,Mike Indigo Blue Live At The Iridium CD

2019 release. "Ice is made of water, but it is colder than water. Blue dye comes from the Indigo plant, but when something is repeatedly dyed in it, the color is deeper than the plant itself." The phrase, greater than the sum of it's parts, suggests a thing is better than you would expect from the individual parts, because the way they combine adds a different quality. This principle describes the synergy which exists between individuals working together in a cooperative effort. Collectively, they are able to achieve an outcome superior to individual efforts. Of course, this concept is exemplified in music, and sometimes the results defy expectation, explanation, or definition. When legendary drummer Mike Clark was asked to reprise the stellar band he assembled and presented a few months before for an encore at New York's famous Iridium Club, all felt he had to record it. The alchemy from this particular mix, of these particular musicians, was too exceptional for a Tibetan sand painting, to be a trace in the memories of the players and audience alone. And so for one remarkable weekend in autumn in New York, the music was captured and recorded. The music speaks for itself.
