Album Description

NYO Jazz’s first full-length studio album, We’re Still Here, is now available for digital download and on all streaming platforms. The album—recorded during the ensemble’s summer 2021 training residency at Purchase College, State University of New York, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic—features Carnegie Hall–commissioned works, a range of classic and contemporary jazz repertoire, and works exploring themes that include social justice, resilience, and the power of music to spark joy.
