In fact‚ “In Graz” is a good summary of Rotondi’s overall sound on this record: it’s complex and urbane post-bop. Rotondi’s trumpet steers his four bandmates (Joe Locke on vibraphone‚ David Hazeltine on piano‚ David Wong on bass‚ and Carl Allen on drums) through complex compositions‚ seven of which are his own band’s. Rotondi’s Dark Blue fits its title and album art; this album is organic and cool‚ almost

Beowulf Through Symbols Beowulf‚ the first written story (that we know of)‚ was written during a time of social tension. There was a shift in religious beliefs‚ as well as constant wars.
