Dazzle Recordings is proud to present Static Line, a recording that fuses jazz and experimental influences; all the while exploring the theme of World War II era music and it’s role in morale and propaganda of the time.  Inspired by his family background and his love of American history, composer/band-leader Tyler Gilmore has constructed a new kind of big band album.

Static Line features Grammy winning trumpeter Cuong Vu.  Known for his unique aural vocabulary, Vu has become a world-renowned name in creative music.  First noticed for his trio recordings, Cuong has gone on to appear and/or record with Pat Metheny, Laurie Anderson, David Bowie, Dave Douglas, Myra Melford, Cibo Matto, and Mitchell Froom.

“Static Line, conceived as an homage to the World War II generation, recalls the big band era with layers of horns, shimmering vibraphones, and driving pulse. But Ninth and Lincoln is no nostalgia act. Composer Tyler Gilmore weaves a cacophonous collage of familiar melodies and new sounds, with danceable drums, distorted guitars, and trumpet sputters that blur the boundary between music and noise.” – Keith Meatto, Editor, Frontier Psychiatrist (www.frontpsych.com)
