Michael Blake: Hellbent
Hellbent features NY based saxophonist/composer Michael Blake leading a powerful group of master musicians. The music they play is passionate and urgent as if a force unto itself. Blake teams up with fellow Lounge Lizards alumni and drummer Calvin Weston, trumpeter Steven Bernstein, tuba virtuoso Marcus Rojas and string innovator Charlie Burnham on violin.
All About Jazz wrote this about their concert in Seattle "They are hellbent on having fun and creating music that speaks to the heart and soul as well to the body and the mind."
Since forming the group in early 2007 Hellbent has toured Canada, USA and Italy.
