Parable of Inclusion

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Chicago's Rob Mazurek has a touch of the cosmic to him and a star is born on Dimensional Stardust.

Composer, music director, multi-instrumentalists dipping his toes into electronics alongside brick-and-mortar axes -- nothing musical is alien to him.

On our highlighted track "Parable of Inclusion," he mixes a strong drink of string repetition, electro drone, and jazz percussion to wake up the universe. Wake up! A new day in jazz is dawning, and it's mostly coming out on International Anthem.

Stream, share, buy to your heart's content.
