About this Album

This two volume recording, Magica, is a daring collection of high energy grooves and inspired exchange between members of a New York City all-star group led by trumpeter and composer Todd Horton. The basic tracks were recorded in three hours in a Brooklyn studio and the improvised compositions came from a few simple sketches brought into the studio by Horton. With elements of jazz, rock, funk and African musical styles, it is a uniquely rare recording. Listening to it from beginning to end is an “experience”.
