- Ed Herrmann
An acoustic fantasy. As the Cassini spacecraft sends back more data from its mission to Saturn, our understanding of the ringed planet and its many moons continues to grow. Enceladus, barely 300 miles wide, is the sixth largest moon of Saturn and one of the brightest objects in our solar system. Covered in ice, Enceladus reflects almost all of the sunlight that strikes it. New images of Enceladus startled scientists by revealing geysers of liquid water erupting from the south pole. Equally amazing is what they heard. Some called it a kind of "otherworldly jazz".

Review of Jazz from Enceladus
Jazz musicians react to the sounds of Enceladus and create their own that would have made John Coltrane proud. Listen to 'Interstellar Space' with Rashied Ali and you'll see what I mean. Jazz and the solar system...I guess I finally see a similarity there...boundless space for discovery, yet everything held together by a strict structure, movement, and rhythm by the creator.
