Album Description

Valley Voice sees Argatoff front an all-star quartet featuring Elastic Recordings co-owners vibraphonist Michael Davidson, Dan Fortin on bass plus drummer Ian Wright. Stars, Engines, the band's debut, marks Argatoff's first recording as leader after a solo disc and several collaborative outings. The album is a vehicle for his unique compositional voice which hybridizes warm, intricate jazz writing and modern chamber music. The title and artwork for the album were inspired by a simple story relayed to him by his grandmother and—like this band’s name—harken back to his Doukhobour upbringing in semi-rural British Columbia, a context that valued pacifism, communal music making, and a deep reverence for life and the natural world.
