On the heels of making his scoring debut in the Netflix ""Spy Ops"" TV show, being 1 of 16 selected for the GRAMMYs® 'Next' Class of 2023, featured in Spotify's ""Best Jazz of 2020-22"" & Amazon Music's ""Best Jazz of 2022 + 2023"" internationally celebrated artist Mike Casey announces his 9th release in 8 years, ""Valencia"" !Originally his masters thesis while studying at Berklee's selective Valencia Spain campus in 2019 & premiered live at Spain's national concert hall Auditori Nacional, 'Valencia' showcases him moving far beyond the polar opposite sax/bass/drums trio & electronic/hip hop formats into expansive, cinematic, global acoustic fusion.Calling this album simply ""Jazz"" would be limiting: it's a forward thinking, multi-genre, multicultural experience created by an artist who is trained in jazz, but who fully absorbed a specific, inspiring environment and period of time abroad into his heart & soul, seeking to unify across geography & genre. Fully Indie.
