Recorded in New York, Tales Of Time And Space brings together the compositions of one of the most respected names in Australian music, Paul Grabowsky and some of New York's (indeed the world's) finest jazz musicians in an orgy of improvised splendour.
Also featuring renowned Australian trumpet player Scott Tinkler, Grabowsky's aim was a “special collaboration between some very committed individuals….an Australian perspective [on] the music which so represents the very soul of New York….a dedication to two worlds, both of which mean so much to me”.
From the stirring abruptness of "Silverland", a jazz tribute to Silverchair, to the sharp scatting shuffle of "Updraft", Tales Of Time And Space is without a doubt, an exemplary musical dialogue by true masters of their craft, namely Branford Marsalis, Joe Lavano, Ed Schuller, Jeff Tain Watts, the aforementioned Tinkler and of course Grabowsky himself. Incidentally, Grabowsky also did the symphony arrangements for several tracks on george's new LP Unity.
