MATT JORGENSEN, Tattooed by Passion:
Music inspired by the paintings of Dale Chisman Origin Records #82568
Inspired by the paintings of his late father-in-law, the prominent abstract-impressionist artist Dale Chisman, drummer Matt Jorgensen has created a recording of all original works drawing influence directly from Chisman paintings, his home city of Denver, his life-long friends, and his constant reinvention as an artist. To properly reflect the power and expanse of Chisman's pieces, Jorgensen, along with his longtime collaborators - trumpeter Thomas Marriott and saxophonist Mark Taylor - expands his own palette from previous recordings, exploring broad new textures and musical landscapes aided by Corey Christiansen's earthy guitar work, bassist Dave Captein, and orchestrations for string quartet.

Audiophile Audition
Jorgensen has created a masterwork of beauty, complexity, and emotion. He honors the work and spirit of Dale Chisman. To hear this work live would be a stunning sensory experience. I highly recommend this CD.
All About Jazz
Drummer Matt Jorgensen pushes a bit out of the relative comfort zone of his longstanding Matt Jorgensen + 451 ensemble, to pay homage to his late father-in-law, abstract expressionist painter Dale Chisman, with Tattooed by Passion. With his + 451 group, Jorgensen crafted a distinctive modern-leaning sound on CDs Hope (Origin Records, 2004) and Another Morning (Origin Records, 2008). He carries that tradition forward on Tattooed by Passion ... An ambitious and beautiful ending to Matt Jorgensen's finest recording to date
All Music Guide
Without becoming rote and without going deep beyond its inspirational subject matter, Tattooed By Passion manages to simultaneously pay respect to the paintings it was built from and independently stand as an excellent recording.
