[@Ohsoaskarian]

Beyond ready to see Bluecoats’ take on this.

[@tonymayhone8669]

Came because Bluecoats are playing it, stayed subscribed and downloaded music because it fucking rocks. Thank you

[@AidnChesner]

BLOOOOOO

[@CollinWestland]

Who's here for Bluecoats? Edit : I came here for Bluecoats but this song hits so I will keep listening and add it to a playlist

Bloo!

I did!

[@Nunyobidne55]

LETS GOOOO BLOOOOOOOOO

[@ckbecerra]

Started listening to this because of Bluecoats, but wow this is amazing!!! Rock on!!!

[@vladproductions1719]

When I saw this on the blue coat repertoire I flipped! This is so good, thank you!

[@Baribrotzer]

WOW! Excellent stuff, and a worthy musical successor to Real Enemies. Like that earlier album, it uses a vocabulary of modern extended harmony, uses it with soul, and swings. That's not easy to accomplish. I also particularly like the way it integrates overdriven, effects-heavy rock guitar into a jazz-orchestra context - and makes it not only work, but sound completely natural.

[@DD-ei9id]

Ayyyy is it just me or does the beginning remind you of the Blue Devils 2023 rendition of an “incident in jazz”? Even if it does, I know for a fact the Blue Coats are going to sweep the competition with this banger. Congrats to the Blue Coats for finding this masterpiece, and I hope that you all get the attention you seriously deserve. BLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[@snorefest1621]

ayo?

[@scottstuit9305]

Beautiful! Most impressive. I hear bits of Gershwin, Mancini, Pet Sounds, Ellington. Love it.

[@makkreol]

Fantastic as always!

[@zepedropires]

Really looking forward to the album. Love the sound and vibe! Love Maraghi's sound!

[@stephenpharvey]

Super excited for this full album!

[@TammyScheffer]

Sounds incredible! Looking forward to the album.

[@amircash]

Been waiting forever! Finally! Saw Ogresse twice and intend to see Darcy's Secret Society when I can,

[@itsleeivy]

BLOOOOOOOO

[@mistersample]

Bravo...What power and impact. Congrats.

[@mammothbones4811]

Are there any saxes other than the soloist!!?? As a bass clarinet and clarinet player that loves jazz and loves to play jazz this was amazing!! And just amazing in general but yk

[@darcyjamesargue]

Thanks for the kind words! To answer your question, the piece starts with all woodwind doubles in the Winds except for Carl Maraghi (Wind 5), who of course plays bari throughout. Later on, Dave Pietro (Wind 1) switches to alto sax, Rob Wilkerson (Wind 2) switches to soprano and alto saxes, and Sam Sadigursky (Wind 3) switches to tenor sax. John Ellis (Wind 4) plays bass clarinet throughout.

[@tonieprawda]

a treat

[@paulisbutlers855]

Dymaxion sounds completely different compared to the Live at Littlefield (2011) record. Fantastic progress!

[@nielspeterborgennielsen1386]

"Dymaxion" is actually the name of Buckminster Fullers icosahedron projected world map with less distortion of all world maps. 🤓 Exciting different big band music anyway.

[@giacomoservetti8729]

This music kills! Looks like Ingrid brought her Grado cans with her. Nice.

[@darcyjamesargue]

She did, and I did as well! Love my Grados.

[@giacomoservetti8729]

I look forward to spinning the LP. Such a refreshing compositional direction, superbly realized.

[@giacomoservetti8729]

They are hard to beat!@@darcyjamesargue

[@bzuuu7788]

Steampunk Jazz!

[@ainoh2023]

Live Juli 14 North Sea Jazz 2024 Rotterdam. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@organboi]

Why so many edits? That's not how musicians in an ensemble should be filmed. Too distracting.

[@organboi]

Enough with Bluecoats. They used about 15 seconds of it. Truly.

[@blazex224]

15 seconds of peak I fear

[@rux_99]

they used a good minute of it but ok

[@rux_99]

actually quite a bit more than a minute

[@HaileyIshii89]

BLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
