Lesli Dalaba’s soulful trumpet has graced the bands of Wayne Horvitz, Zlatne Ustne, Elliott Sharp and Fred Frith. Here Lesli is joined by three stellar musicians, Carla Kihlstedt, Ikue Mori, and Zeena Parkins, and vocalist Amy Denio, for an ambitious musical rendering of five billion years of history. Ice ages, the beginnings of life, major extinctions, and much more are represented in accurate, relative time. With the pop-up guide included on the CD, we hear all of human history and its place in the evolution of our planet.
