Mazurek, Rob: Flitting Splits Reverb Adage [BOOK] (RogueArt)

"An assignment: find the titles of Rob Mazurek's records and the names of his bands. Put them in a line. Now tell me he's not a poet. Mazurek is a bona fide polymath. He thinks in multiple media. One modality bleeds into another, the musical into the visual into the verbal. And they are cumulative, as seen and heard and read in these beautiful poems. Colors explode, repetitions draw musicality out of words, text refers to the shape of a sound. Conjuring a cosmic sonosphere, the sound-crust on the canvas of our shared existence, Mazurek evokes more in a few lines than many writers do in volumes."-John Corbett

Drawing from his projects and recordings to craft a textual soundscape as expressive and dynamic as his sonic explorations, cornetist and composer Rob Mazurek presents a vivid collection of poems and prose, merging impressionistic language with the sources of his instrumental art in a compelling companion to his body of improvised music.
