Aliens In A Bebop Planet
''Aliens in a Bebop Planet'' is a double album by jazz pianist Roberto Magris released on the JMood label in 2012, featuring performances by Magris with his ''Space Trek'' from Kansas City.

Before that, we are treated to a variety of mainstream jazz styles. As for the title of the package, a better one might be ''Beboppers on an Alien Planet''. But kicking it all off is a signature sound on piano that suggests yet another 'planet'”.
