ASCENSIONISM
Richard Bone

       "Ascensionism" is the third in a trilogy of "hats-off" projects that began with "Electropica" and "Coxa". Bone's latest is at the heart of jazz from the CTI era, but placed in a modern setting, with lounge rhythms, cool breaks, and smooth sounds that we find extra appealing. Everyone who enjoyed Richard's work on "Electropica" and "Coxa" will definitely love the final disc of this exceptional series. Influenced by "The Ascension Schools" and "The Beat Poets", "Ascensionism" will absolutely entrance listeners with one of the most outstanding albums Richard has created. Cool undercurrents move through each selection, from snappy to mellow, and again proves to us that Richard is "the artist who can do no wrong"!
