How could they have left off Who Dunnit?
Sad news, I just read that one of the pianists, Angelo Di Loreto passed away last year, on October 17th 2020.
I had a listen to the start of Fountain of Salmacis. It sounds really interesting. Oddly, it kind of evoked a scene in a black and white movie set in a saloon in the wild west. Will have to check out the rest.
That is sad about the pianist though, I wonder what the story is.
Quote from Jazz Buffalo (https://jazzbuffalo.org/event/…ounge-philippe-lemm-trio/)
"Angelo lived a very full, giving, and productive life. He also lived his adult life with anxiety and depression."
There is also the fact that his family chose to support this cause : The National Alliance on Mental Illness – New York.
I haven't listened to it yet (and the queue is pretty long, so it'll be a while), but the most recent episode of the Tabletop Genesis Podcast is all about this album. A while back, they did an interview with one of the guys (I don't remember if it was before or after the one's passing, so I don't know who the interview was with), but it talked about why they got into Genesis in the first place, and how they do the arrangements. It was a good interview, though I can't point out which episode that was.
Regardless, as I said, the most recent episode is specifically about this new album, just released. So give it a listen if you've the interest.

From The Buffalo News:
Mr. Di Loreto died in his Manhattan home after suffering a cardiac episode due to undiagnosed severe heart disease. He was 30.

Jesus Christ that's awful.

Oh dear - wasn't aware of that. I was in touch with Adam yesterday, offering "them" a little interview to support the release. He then told me ...
