Imaginary Eyes (2lp)
Available on DOUBLE-LP, 'Imaginary Eyes' is a sweeping, ambitious work that conjures a cinematic sound-world with soaring strings, heavy rhythm section grooves, mysterious flute melodies, triumphant brass and McGathey's expressive touch at the piano. There are contributions from nearly a dozen up-and-coming musicians from Chicago's jazz and classical scenes, creating an epic studio-orchestra sound.
