Aaron Diehl - The Bespoke Man's NarrativeIn fashion circles, the adjective "bespoke" denotes custom-made suits and shirts and signifies the person who designs and constructs them. On The Bespoke Man's Narrative, his brilliant Mack Avenue Records debut, pianist Aaron Diehl extrapolates this notion to matters of musical invention.
"The idea for the metaphor was that the composition and concept were specifically for these musicians," Diehl says, referring to his working quartet of 30-ish all-stars - vibraphonist (and Mack Avenue artist) Warren Wolf, bassist David Wong and drummer Rodney Green - that interprets the five originals and five arrangements comprising the program. "There's a sequence, an arc, a beginning, middle and end. Each piece has something to do with my musical development."
