{"product_id":"as-things-do","title":"AS THINGS DO","description":"With his extensive artistic biography, Michael Formanek is one of the most outstanding figures in American jazz, as a composer, as a bassist in ensembles, and as a soloist. The fact that the bassist has been an integral part of the creative music scene for several decades speaks for his creativity and versatility. Now Michael Formanek presents the long-awaited second album with his groundbreaking Elusion Quartet, which brings together four highly acclaimed musicians from the New York jazz scene - pianist Kris Davis, saxophonist Tony Malaby and drummer Ches Smith. \"As Things Do is yet another testament to Formanek's encyclopedic conception.[...] Michael Formanek is that rare musician who, all the while retaining absolute integrity and focus, can let the music range where it will: in his own words, letting things go where they're going to go, As Things Do\" writes Alexander Hawkins in the liner notes.","brand":"INTAKT RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52035983114520,"sku":"7640120193997","price":18.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4205966-2968020.jpg?v=1778149799","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/as-things-do","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
