New From OmniTone..."Organized pandimonium rules as master pianist, composer, and percussionist MICK ROSSI lets fly with more breathtakingly fun and virtuosic compositions for quintet. Mick's newest CD (his sixth as a leader), featuring saxophonist Andy Laster, trumpeter Russ Johnson, bassist Mark Dresser, and percussionist Charles Descarfino, 'One Block from Planet Earth' was recorded live — one take (!) — at the Knitting Factory and offers some mindblowing playing and improvisation from this crackshot ensemble ... enough to transport you to another world. With tunes like 'Page X,' 'I Gotta Go to Bed,' and 'Biohazard,' what do you expect? And, for those fans of Mick's wonderful album of a few years ago, 'They Have a Word for Everything' (one of our top 10 picks of the last 10 years!), One Block gives the next, further-extended, installment of Rossi's compositional and pianistic prowess." - OmniTone Records
