O’s Notes: The Los Angeles Improvisation Ensemble is a contemporary fusion quartet that blends classical music with spontaneous jazz. The band featuring Louis Stewart (p), Michael Valerio (b), Andrew Shulman (cello), and Rob Hardt (woodwinds). They came together during the pandemic and allowed the collective creative juices to flow. Insubordinate Lunar Transgressions captures the mood of the period. Highlights are “Solar Voyage”, the curious “Tunisian Hookah Bar”, and “Excursions Into The Unknown”.
