| Description: | Space Between is an album by Rob Mazurek, released in 2022. The album is a jazz CD. - (CD + DVD) the Space Between is a multi-faceted sound/visual orchestration based on multiplying forces and the space between these forces. It pursues the idea of the Indra's Net, a continuous reflection of, but always changing reality of, our universe and what is not seen or heard. Featuring the dynamic flute of Nicole Mitchell, the Wellsian voice of Damon Locks, and stellar contributions from the other members of the Ensemble, along with Marianne M. Kim's multi-layered visual poem, the Space Between represents a step into the direction of sound as vision / vision as sound. Contains one CD and DVD (in PCM stereo, DTS and Dolby 5.1).

The DVD also contains the special feature Illumination Drone # 17, Rob Mazurek's silent video."The Space Between" is a CD release by cornetist and composer Rob Mazurek, issued on the respected Chicago jazz label Delmark. On this album, Mazurek explores spacious, often introspective soundscapes that balance lyrical trumpet work with open, sometimes abstract improvisation. The music moves between quiet, melodic passages and more adventurous textures, creating a sense of tension and release that matches the title: it's all about what happens in the space between the notes, the silence, and the interaction of the musicians. Listeners will find elements of modern jazz, free improvisation, and subtle experimental touches, yet the record remains warm and human, with a strong emotional core rather than pure abstraction.
