We have come to a time in jazz in which labels are handed out so willingly by the unknowing and uncaring that they have become nothing but meaningless limitations restricting us from a spectrum of beauty and passion…a revelation is needed.
Industrial Revelation is not about harmonic or rhythmic innovation, it is not about complex structures that allude to nothing except their own difficulty, it is not out-jazz, in-jazz, hard-bop, be-bop or any catchy hyphenated title that so easily rolls off the tongue, this group is about human emotion, it is about unbridled energy, excitement, passion, beauty and the enjoyment that coincides. Prepare for the Revelation…
Here are some words that have been spoken about Industrial Revelation:
“One of the most beautiful melodies I’ve heard coming from a stage in a long time…so timeless I figured it must be a standard…labels fall away when you’re absorbing the pure heart and passion that these guys play with." -Jonathan Zwickel, The Stranger
"(Industrial Revelation) is ready to both circumvent the jazz tradition and hit you over the head with it...In spite of their youth, the group members express a deep soulfulness in their music and their philosophy, assimilating what used to be valuable in jazz as "great Black Music": a spirit that one doesn't realize was missing until its presence reappears." -John Gilbreath, Seattle Sound
