Bio:
Dan Rosenboom, born on May 7, 1982, stands as an internationally recognized figure in the realm of music, particularly as a trumpeter, composer, and producer. Hailing from the vibrant Los Angeles creative music scene, Rosenboom boasts an extensive catalogue, comprising over 25 albums of original music as both a solo artist and a leader of various bands. Additionally, his label, Orenda Records, has supported the releases of over 100 artists, solidifying his influence within the community.
Rosenboom's prowess extends beyond the realm of independent music, as he is a respected member of the Hollywood studio musician cadre. His trumpet can be heard on over 200 major film and television soundtracks, collaborating with esteemed composers such as John Williams, Danny Elfman, and Alexandre Desplat, among others. Furthermore, he has graced the stages of elite ensembles like the LA Philharmonic, the LA Chamber Orchestra, and the LA Opera, showcasing his versatility and skill.
Rejecting the confines of genre classification, Rosenboom's music draws inspiration from a myriad of influences, including Black American Music, metal, experimental rock, contemporary classical, and Balkan folk music. His educational journey, spanning institutions like the Eastman School of Music, CalArts, and UCLA, has equipped him with advanced degrees in music, enriching his creative endeavors.
The Los Angeles Times has lauded Rosenboom as a boundary-breaking artist dedicated to exploration and expression, aptly dubbing him "a phenomenon." As a composer, he has been the recipient of grants and awards from esteemed institutions like the American Composers Forum and ASCAP, further validating his impact on the contemporary music scene.
Onstage, Rosenboom has graced renowned venues such as the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Angel City Jazz Festival, captivating audiences with his innovative compositions and virtuosic performances. Through his label, Orenda Records, and various musical projects like PLOTZ! and DR. MiNT, he has nurtured both established icons and emerging talents, cementing his status as a pivotal figure in LA's creative landscape.
One of Rosenboom's most notable ventures is his protest band, Burning Ghosts, which combines elements of experimental jazz, punk, and metal to address modern socio-political issues. Their music has garnered international attention, with four albums released to date, including one under John Zorn's prestigious Tzadik label. Described by Something Else Reviews as "the Rage Against the Machine of jazz," Burning Ghosts exemplifies Rosenboom's commitment to using music as a platform for social commentary.
Beyond his musical endeavors, Rosenboom is a dedicated advocate for progressive music education. He currently shares his expertise as a teacher at UCLA and has authored educational materials such as "The Boom Method: Universal Fundamentals for Trumpet and Other Instruments, Vol. 1," published by Balqhuidder Music in 2019. Additionally, his writing has been featured in John Zorn's "Arcana IX: Musicians on Music" on Tzadik, further solidifying his multifaceted contributions to the music community.

This is a matrix in the original sense of the word: ˈmātriks / source / from "mater", Latin for "mother" ... inspired in El Aleph, Borges' tale in which the universe in its entirety is visible beneath a basement stairway in Buenos Aires, our Matrix conceived likewise to make perceptible the entire universe of mankind's creativity...
El Aleph P/E
Conceived under a Spiritus Mundi ranging from the quilombos and senzalas of Cachoeira and Santo Amaro to the wards of New Orleans to the South Side of Chicago to the sidewalks of Harlem to the slums of Kingston to the townships of South Africa to the villages of Ireland to the Roma camps of France and Belgium to the Vienna of Beethoven to the shtetls of Eastern Europe...*
Laroyê!
Thousands of crossroads (listed in the link immediately above) ... and millions of pathways, uncoiling from the sprawling cultural matrix of Terra Brasilis: Indigenous, African, Sephardic and then Ashkenazic, Arabic, European, Asian...
...constituting a small world network. Such networks exist everywhere around us, even inside us: our brains contain small world networks. Humanity is a small world network wherein over 8 billion human beings average 6 or fewer steps between any two given people, anywhere. Those steps are seldom all transitable though. In the Matrix they are. In a small world great things are possible.
*...in conversation with Raymundo Sodré, who summed up the beautiful irony in this sequence by opining for the ages: "Where there's misery, there's music!" Thus A Massa, anthem for the trod-upon folk of Brazil, which blasted from every radio between the Amazon and Brazil's industrial south until Sodré was silenced, threatened with death and forced into exile by the dictatorship...
And thus this Matrix, a small world network wherein all creators tend to accessible proximity to all other creators, irrespective of fame, location, or the censor.
Sparrow/Pardal Roberts
Recommend somebody and you will appear on that person's page. Somebody recommends you and they will appear on your page.
Both pulled by the inexorable mathematical gravity of the small world phenomenon to within range of everybody inside.
And by logical extension, to within range of all humanity outside as well.

Matrix Ground Zero is the Recôncavo, bewitching and bewitched, contouring the resplendent Bay of All Saints (end of clip below, before credits), absolute center of terrestrial gravity for the disembarkation of enslaved human beings (and for the sublimity these people created), the bay presided over by Brazil's ineffable Black Rome: Salvador da Bahia (seat of the Integrated Global Creative Economy* and where Bule Bule is seated below, around the corner from where we built this matrix as an extension of our record shop).

*Darius Mans holds a Ph.D. in Economics from MIT, and lives between Washington D.C. and Salvador da Bahia.
Between 2000 and 2004 he served as the World Bank’s Country Director for Mozambique and Angola. In that capacity, Darius led a team which generated $150 million in annual lending to Mozambique, including support for public private partnerships in infrastructure which catalyzed over $1 billion in private investment.
Darius was an economist with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, where he worked closely with the U.S. Treasury and the IMF to establish a framework to avoid debt repudiation and to restructure private commercial debt in Brazil and Chile.
He taught Economics at the University of Maryland and was a consultant to KPMG on infrastructure projects in Latin America.

I'm Pardal here in Brazil (that's "Sparrow" in English). The deep roots of this project are in Manhattan, where Allen Klein (managed the Beatles and The Rolling Stones) called me about royalties for the estate of Sam Cooke... where Jerry Ragovoy (co-wrote Time is On My Side, sung by the Stones; Piece of My Heart, Janis Joplin of course; and Pata Pata, sung by the great Miriam Makeba) called me looking for unpaid royalties... where I did contract and licensing for Carlinhos Brown's participation on Bahia Black with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock...
...where I rescued unpaid royalties for Aretha Franklin (from Atlantic Records), Barbra Streisand (from CBS Records), Led Zeppelin, Mongo Santamaria, Gilberto Gil, Astrud Gilberto, Airto Moreira, Jim Hall, Wah Wah Watson (Melvin Ragin), Ray Barretto, Philip Glass, Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd for his interest in Bob Marley compositions, Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam and others...
...where I worked with Earl "Speedo" Carroll of the Cadillacs (who went from doo-wopping as a kid on Harlem streetcorners to top of the charts to working as a janitor at P.S. 87 in Manhattan without ever losing what it was that made him special in the first place), and with Jake and Zeke Carey of The Flamingos (I Only Have Eyes for You)... stuff like that.
Yeah this is Bob's first record contract, made with Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd of Studio One and co-signed by his aunt because he was under 21. I took it to Black Rock to argue with CBS' lawyers about the royalties they didn't want to pay (they paid).
