A DISTANT LIGHT - Todd Mosby (Mosby Music Group, LLC - BMI)

A Distant Light At this stage, the album changes pace. The delicate A Distant Light gives time to reflect on everything we have experienced this far and ponder about what’s next. Adrienne Woods’ cello and Mosby’s electric guitar engage in a wonderful duet that will illuminate even a dark room. - BT Fasmer, New Age Music Guide

*****
The evening star seen just after sunset in a Western sky was the inspiration for this musical reflection. - TM

NATIVE DANCER [5:01] - Todd Mosby (Mosby Music Group, LLC - BMI)

Talking about movement; Native Dancer seems to incorporate the two tracks we just heard, and somehow takes it all into a new and creative direction – much thanks to the Imratguitar and sax. Where ever you might be, the landscape of New Mexico seems near. - BT Fasmer, New Age Music Guide

*****
A horseback ride out of Taoes Pueblo with a Zuni shaman was the inspiration for this piece along with a variation on an ancient Bhim Palasie melody by Imrat Khan for the A section. - TM

The first melody is a variation on an ancient theme given to me by guru-ji Imrat Khan from Raag Bhim Palsaie. The second melody I wrote as a contrast to Bhim Palasie and I used Raag Yamin Kalyan for this section. The harmonic structure of the tunes and melodies are true the the raag forms keeping a very traditional structural while still allowing soloist to move outside the form and still keep the raga sound. I really love the solo interplay with Tom Scott and myself while Vinnie and the band held a great groove. - TM

"One of the most unique guitarist I have ever worked with..." - Will Ackerman, Founder Windham Hill Records

Acclaimed Indian Jazz Guitarist Todd Mosby has created a new musical syntax integrating Indian classical music and Western music, encompassing elements from classical, folk, bluegrass and jazz. 

The result opens new frontiers with exciting new sounds and structures that transcend known genres of music.

An innovative guitarist, composer & improvisor who creates an intriguing combination of Indian Jazz, New Age, jazz, folk and world music, Mosby's music is genre-defying.

Alex Thode (he/him/they) would first and foremost like you to know that not only is the “e” at the end of his last name not silent, but that he is also a composer and arranger most known for his work in the pageantry arts. He resides in Waukesha, Wisconsin with his cat, Buzz. An alumnus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Alex composes and arranges for marching bands across the continental United States. Always aiming to infuse contemporary music with the classics and the mainstream with the obscure, his marching band arrangements are known to stand out for their eclectic musical diversity and creative sonic environments.

Alex's clientele have been Bands of America (BOA) Regional Finalists and Class Champions, BOA Super Regional Class Champions, UIL Area Champions and State Finalists, WGI Winds Class Champions, and also make regular appearances at BOA Grand Nationals. He has also had the privilege of having his arrangements performed in the 2016 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the 2020 Tournament of Roses Bandfest.

Along with his compositions and arrangements for the pageantry arts, Alex also has been commissioned to write middle school and high school concert band works, and enjoys composing chamber percussion music. Alex recently completed his new piece for 8-piece percussion ensemble, “the carving of canyons,” which premiered in January 2022.

In his free time, Alex enjoys watching movies and believing he’s a professional film critic, hiking and pretending that he’s athletic, traveling and acting like he’s Marco Polo, playing piano, guitar and a variety of kalimbas, and being with good company.
