Paul Hanson and Raze the Maze have created a new album that doesn't just defy genre - it redefines it. From hypnotic grooves to expansive solos, Calliope is a bold musical statement that will captivate and challenge listeners. It's beautifully complicated, like the intoxicating and wild ride of your first relationship.
Paul Hanson has redefined the possibilities of the bassoon, a traditionally classical instrument, by bringing it into new realms of jazz, rock and world music. Known for his improvisational genius and technical prowess, Hanson has performed concertos with local symphonies and performed with musical legends Bela Fleck, Wayne Shorter, Jon Batiste, Billy Cobham amongst others. His reputation as an innovator has only grown, with critics praising his ability "to transform the bassoon from a symphony orchestra instrument into a viable workhorse for extended solos."
Raze the Maze hails from the San Francisco Bay Area and currently resides in Oregon. They are a progressive rock band led by composer and bassist Tarik Ragab and vocalist/arranger Moorea Dickason. The duo has earned a reputation for pushing musical boundaries with catchy hooks, blistering riffs and intellectually engaging lyrics. In Calliope, they bring these elements together with Hanson's electric bassoon for an unprecedented collaboration that fuses progressive rock's complexity with the improvisational freedom of jazz.
