Recorded live June 19 & 20, 2007
at Vision Festival XII by Stefan Heger

Produced by William Parker
Assistant Producer: Steven Joerg
Festival producer: Patricia Nicholson

An orchestral work featuring immensely gifted individual and
collective voices from around the world (see above!), meshing
as one to manifest a pair of deep double-drummer-and-bass
driven mantras; this is serious (other) World teleportation
music that achieves psychedelic proportions of sonic
interplay

The specially commissioned world premiere of Double Sunrise
Over Neptune took place on June 19, 2007, the opening night of
Vision Festival XII. It was a great performance, though there
were technical difficulties in the live mix that affected the
recording. The call was made (and fortuitously it was
possible) for all of the musicians to reconvene at the
Orensanz Art Center the following afternoon to perform and
record the piece a second time. I was there as well; it was
blissful. The entirety of that afternoon performance is
presented here, followed by the second half (live mix glitches
ironed out by then) of the premiere performance. Go deep into
this on long drives my friends, whether it involves the road
or not. - SJ

From William Parker s liner notes:
Double Sunrise was borne of a concept I call universal
tonality, which is based off of the idea that all sounds like
human beings come from the same place. All sound has a
heartbeat and breathes the same as each human being. Some
sounds are born in Africa; others are born in Asia, Europe
Australia or America. These sounds pass through certain human
beings. We don't invent sounds, we are allowed to encounter
them; we don't own them, they existed before we were born and
will be here after we are gone

Musically, Double Sunrise Over Neptune has to do with the
blending of sound with intent and message. The poetic intent
going through the music is do not kill another human being
for we cannot bring them back to life. One day a double
sunrise will appear in the sky. We have until that time to
become One with music. All the musicians involved in this
project are great leaders, composers, improvisers in their own
right. I thank them with all my heart for their unique
contributions on this recording

This project is supported by the New York State Music Fund
established by the New York State Attorney General at
Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and is released in
cooperation with Arts for Art, Inc

5 Stars: "Cosmic and Magnificent! Magnificent and Earthly!
The biggest achievement of the album is that it all works to
perfection: tight interplay, wild improvisations, wonderful
rhythms and themes, the power of a big band with the
sensitivity of a small ensemble, it is dark and refreshing
familiar and new, tribal and universal, expansive and
intimate, control and chaos, emotional and soulful, bringing
the most unbelievable cocktail of genres and styles, and it
works ... it works! ... ... this is music which should never
stop ... .. this is music that the whole world should hear
" -Stef

ALL ABOUT JAZZ #1
"as compelling as anything released so far this year .. a
statement of vision realized with extraordinary clarity." -Nic
Jones

ALL ABOUT JAZZ #2
"a kaleidoscopic tour-de-force .. cosmic groove music with a
global flair a seamless merger of Eastern and Western
traditions conveyed with passionate conviction." -Troy Collins

VILLAGE VOICE / Jazz Consumer Guide - Pick Hit!
"The sort of miracle Sun Ra used to conjure up, but two
planets further out from Ra's home base. A" -Tom Hull

KZSU / Stanford U. Radio
"This is a mystical extended work for 16 musicians. The music
breathes, with global instrumentation contrasting orderly
riffs and free-jazz invention, as the lovely voice of North
Indian vocalist Sangeeta Bandyopadhyay gently wraps up the
whole ensemble. An awesome disc." -Fo
