On the heels of making his scoring debut in the Netflix "Spy Ops" TV show, being 1 of 16 selected for the GRAMMYs® 'Next' Class of 2023, featured in Spotify's "Best Jazz of 2020-22 " & Amazon Music's "Best Jazz of 2022 + 2023" internationally celebrated artist Mike Casey announces his 9th release in 8 years, "Valencia"! Originally his masters thesis while studying at Berklee's selective Valencia Spain campus in 2019 & premiered live at Spain's national concert hall Auditori Nacional, 'Valencia' showcases him moving far beyond the polar opposite sax/bass/drums trio & electronic/hip hop formats into expansive, cinematic, global acoustic fusion. Calling this album simply "Jazz" would be limiting: it's a forward thinking, multi-genre, multicultural experience created by an artist who is trained in jazz, but who fully absorbed a specific, inspiring environment and period of time abroad into his heart & soul, seeking to unify across geography & genre. Fully Indie. UPC: 769165090478 Show more
