Saxophonist/composer Brian McCarthy explores the origins of the solar system on the breathtaking second album by his acclaimed Nonet. AFTER|LIFE, due out May 26, 2023 via Truth Revolution Recording Collective, reconvenes the band from McCarthy’s lauded The Better Angels of Our Nature for a cosmically ambitious follow-up
“McCarthy imbues his original compositions with a scholar’s perspicacity and a melodist’s ear.” – Brian Zimmerman, DownBeat
The brilliant Grammy-nominated violinist/composer Sara Caswell releases The Way To You, her first album as a leader in nearly 20 years, March 3, 2023 via Anzic Records. The band celebrates with a NYC album release concert March 5 at Birdland Theater.
“Sara Caswell is an anointed musician. From the first splash of tone pouring out of her violin, we are invited into a visceral sensation of deep-spirited passion, harnessed and polished through artistic devotion. As always, Sara’s playing soothes my spirit, and inspires my mind. I am very grateful for her most recent offering, and excited on behalf of the many listeners who will receive the sonic blessings contained therein.” – esperanza spalding
