{"product_id":"signal-maker-1","title":"SIGNAL MAKER","description":"Everybody who is slightly interested in modern jazz  knows the name of Mark Helias. The American double  bass player has worked with everyone from Ed Blackwell,  Don Cherry and Carlos Ward to Anthony Braxton,  Muhal Richard Abrams and Cecil Taylor.  With Tom Rainey (dr) and Tony Malady (ts), Helias  founded the trio OPEN LOOSE in 1996 to play his  compositions which allow open form improvisation.  As the three musicians get familiar with the pieces  they recompose them on the bandstand. \"The most  interesting developments come when we start altering  the compositions in a creative way, maintaining the  spirit of the piece but taking it somewhere else, into an  unimagined place,\" says Helias. \"Every time we come  together it's different, it's new and wonderful.\"","brand":"INTAKT RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52053227569432,"sku":"7640120192457","price":18.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2845759.jpg?v=1778601122","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/signal-maker-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
