Today, the Spotlight shines On EMBER, a trio featuring saxophonist and trumpeter Caleb Wheeler Curtis, bassist Noah Garabedian and drummer Vinnie Sperrazza. Their album, August in March (Imani Records), is "a vivid representation of the musical, interpersonal and community-oriented ideas that the three forward-thinking musicians that make up EMBER...care deeply about."

This conversation explores the heady thematic elements of EMBER's music: humanism, community, place, and the importance of being a band of equals.

Stick around after the discussion to hear the track "Flotation Device and the Shivers" from August in March, by EMBER.
