Album Description

As New York City was reawakening after a year of lockdown, spring was in full bloom, and a sense of renewal was in the air. Familiar sounds, which had remained distant for so long, were again within ear's reach and working their way back to day-to-day life, ever so cautiously. Throughout 2020 and well into 2021, making music in our homes became a daily ritual, new habits and routines had been built, and with those, new musical ideas came to life within the city's silence. And so, combining these new practices with sounds that inspired hope birthed ‘After the Rain: Impressions on Daily Sounds and Field Recordings During a Moment of Rebirth and Awakening’. Seven tracks of freely improvised trumpet, FX and Fender Rhodes over familiar yet unexpectedly new sounds: traveling once again on the New York City Subway system, conversations at a local bar, grilling with family and friends, playing trumpet duets with a student, splashing waves at the waterfront, the sound of light rain in the morning.
