notes
Most jazz bands don’t include an oud, but Raleigh-based band ELM Collective isn’t like most jazz bands. Their multi-layered global sound is a direct reflection of the composition of the band, whose seven members hail from five nations and four continents.
The "composers' collective" provides a forum for the fusion of jazz and world sounds and is influenced by the personal experiences that each of the musicians bring. All the members of the collective are deeply convinced that we are all part of a global world, where art and music are elements that can unify different cultures and create a new vision of peace and coexistence for the generations to come. They take as their mission to show to their audiences that this blending of cultures is indeed not only possible, but of higher intellectual and artistic value. To fulfill this goal, “ELM collective” is dedicated to the performance of original material created by its members and uniquely arranged to highlight the instrumentation and artistic perspective of the ensemble.

Congratulations! You are a wonderful synthesis of the Silk Road Ensemble and Pink Martini, but with the spirit of the Buena Vista Social Club! Your music works at all levels: it mixes together melodies, rhythms, atmospheres, emotions, instruments, and people from different countries and cultures. It's a musical hope of a real universality!
