To be honest, I had no idea what the Empty Space Orchestra was all about. It came as a surprise that the music was presented without vocals. That said, I thoroughly liked the motif based melodies; It did remind me a little of Mannheim Steamroller sometimes, though. Fortunately, I like the Steamroller.
In addition, this team of players really seemed to enjoy their music. Playing their own blend of jazz and rock, there was never a lack of genuine enthusiasm for the piece; the drummer was especially expressive.
Unexpectedly, the eclectic titles did a good job of suggesting the general mood of the tune. Once again, these appeared to be educated musicians with a good grasp of time, rhythm, mood and melody. All in all, I found the show entertaining and the band likable.
In that vein, here’s 27 minutes of the Empty Space Orchestra at the Q Cafe in Queene Anne, Washington. I don’t know the title to the second song yet; I’m hoping the band will help me out with that. Enjoy!
