Recorded in 2005 and dedicated to Sun Ra and His Arkestra, this dynamic and lyrically inclined trio session brings together legendary trombonist Julian Priester with Canadian bassist Paul Blaney and drummer Jimmy Bennington, weaving spontaneous improvisations, expressive modern jazz, and a soulful rendering of "Mood Indigo" into a deeply rooted and timeless recording.

"... I regard the NOW Orchestra as one of the finest large creative ensembles active in the last decade. The combinations of high levels of individual creativity and virtuosity with a strong sense of collectivity is a rare and treasured combination that the NOW Orchestra manifests very strongly..."-George Lewis, Earshot Jazz

Recorded in February 1995, guitarist-composer Rene Lussier leads the massive Now Orchestra through a bold score that blends rock rhythms, free jazz blowouts and cinematic improvisation; across two days the ensemble of saxes, trumpet, cello, guitar, bass and drums navigates abrupt shifts, dense textures and playful detours, confirming a singular large-ensemble statement that remains vivid and unpredictable.
