Corbett vs. Dempsey presents the release of Cartographies of Flight by Marty Ehrlich. This new recording presents Ehrlich's compositions and woodwinds in the context of an illustrious sextet with Sara Schoenbeck, Ron Horton, Erik Friedlander, Matt Pavolka, and Satoshi Takeshi, with settings of poetry by Erica Hunt, read by the poet. One of the most significant voices to emerge from the fertile musical environs of 1970s St. Louis, making a mark in 1980s New York, Ehrlich has steadily amassed one of the great discographies in creative music. Cartographies of Flight introduces a vivid new chapter in this uniquely personal legacy. Produced by Marty Ehrlich. Recorded October 10th, 2024 at Samurai Hotel Studios. Mixed, mastered, and edited by Christopher Hoffman. Cover painting by Andrea Deszö.
"Dear Listener, This recording starts with a sound that has energized me over many years: the 'Dark Woods' of the clarinet, bassoon, cello and bass; the 'Bright Sparks' of the alto and trumpet; the wood and metal of the percussion bringing it all together. The album also contains many of my multitudes: settings of and improvisations with poetic text (here read by their author, Erica Hunt), the combination and contrasting of compositions with improvisations, and works both open and set; then the corralling of these elements into a large field, the beginning to end of a CD, or of a concert. Cartographies of Flight is a wonderful instrumentation, but it is the unique and expressive voices of these artists that I most wanted to engage with. Our performances had a galvanizing effect on me: I wanted to get into a recording studio to map, all pun intended, the flight of the music. The music on this CD moves quickly from one scene to the next. This is one path through, one 'line set afloat' to navigate this troubling and challenging time we live in. I hope it serves." --Marty Ehrlich.

"This is the first program devoted entirely to the orchestral music of Marty Ehrlich. It displays the characteristics that have marked his success as an instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader: strong melodic invention and a keen ear for instrumental color, creative curiosity embracing disciplines beyond music, extreme sensitivity to those with whom he collaborates, formal inventiveness that enhances rather than obscures expressive intent, and an unblinking yet ultimately affirmative insistence on connecting his music with realities both historic and contemporary."

"Marty Ehrlich is one of jazz's most acclaimed contemporary multi-instrumentalists. Hankus Netsky is a renowned Jewish klezmer and scholar, and founder of the Klezmer Conservatory Band. Friends for decades, these two master musicians join forces for the first time in a fabulous program of original music that meets in the nexus of Jazz and the Jewish tradition. Exciting, touching and soulful, Fables is a real tour de force. One of jazz's greatest voices on the saxophone and one of the world's greatest experts on Jewish music in a unique and exciting duo project!"

"One of the most respected and versatile reed players in New Music, Marty has been an integral member in the units of Julius Hemphill, Oliver Lake, Anthony Braxton and Bobby Bradford, among others. Exploring the roots of his Jewish heritage, Marty takes us on a new path with his intimate Dark Woods ensemble, touching upon Coltrane and Klezmer on his journey. Sojourn is a very special release by one of today's most accomplished composers/performers. A musician's musician, his compositions are contrapuntally more complex and have a delightful folklike simplicity."
