Bio / Background
NEW YORK: Prophecies Come to Pass, a live recording of Sabir Mateen’s compositions by his band, The Shapes, Textures and Sound Ensemble, has been released on 577 Records.
The debut release from this well respected group acknowledges and expands on the rich legacy of New York City’s jazz heritage. It was recorded live at Zebulon, then edited by Mateen and Steve Swell and mastered under Mateen’s direction. The CD is a breathtaking combination of the raw energy fueled sound of a live performance and top quality mastered sound.
The musicians that comprise The Shapes, Textures and Sound Ensemble are among the most renowned free jazz players in the world. They include, Sabir Mateen and Matthew Hayner, both famous for playing guerilla subway concerts with the band TEST; Steve Swell and Matt Lavelle of William Parker’s Little Huey Creative Orchestra; and Michael T.A. Thompson who has worked extensively with trumpet player Roy Campbell Jr.
↓ more ↓The cohesive depth of this group of master musicians allows each of the players' solos to shine throughout the disc. On the first track “Sekasso Blues” the three horns take the music to new levels of intensity and depth with blazing lines. On "Prophecies Come to Pass," the track from which the album derives its name, the ensemble creates such a full sound that it resembles more of a symphonic orchestra than a jazz quintet.
Prophecies Come to Pass is dedicated to the spirit of Raphe Malik, the renowned trumpet player who played with the band at one time.
