Community Immunity – 2011

COMMUNITY IMMUNITY

CHILDHOOD SYMPATHY

EYE IN THE SKY (BONUS TRACK)

“The pieces on Community Immunity are like little puzzles with moving parts that fit together in the strangest ways. The moving parts lock in with uncanny seamlessness.”
Dave Douglas

“Community Immunity is much more than your average modern jazz album…  It is a study in compression and expansion, compositional detail and improvisational freedom.”
The New York Jazz Record

“A bracing listen from a musical architect who is as distinctive and precise as he is young…  If you’re an open-eared listener with a yen for forward-thinking music,  you’ll find yourself wanting to crack Community Immunity‘s code.”
Ottawa Citizen

“Maybe it’s the odd time signatures, maybe the strange timbres or the meandering compositions. Something sets Curtis Macdonald’s debut album apart and challenges you to keep coming back.”
Rochester City Newspaper

“With Community Immunity, Curtis Macdonald establishes himself as one who stands apart from the rest…”
All About Jazz

“A dynamic effort that succeeds in opening more doors with each listen.”
Downbeat Magazine

“Macdonald explores some wholly unique territory…”
JazzTimes Magazine

“Imaginative and daring…”
Pittsburgh Tribune

 “A sleekly modern band.”
NY Times

“the living well” selected as a ISC finalist

My song, “The Living Well” which is the 6th track on my debut record Community Immunity has been selected as a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition.  Another song of mine, “My Deal” was a semi-finalist.

ISC received many outstanding entries (over 15,000 entries from 115 countries), and in fact, this was the most competitive year to date. Each year the entries have gotten better and better, but this year was unabashedly the best in terms of quality of songwriting.
