Album Description

'What We Are' is the flower that came out of the years-long collaboration between Zack Clarke and Alex Louloudis. The two met in New York City, became friends, and started collaborating in a variety of musical situations. Countless sessions, exploring the freer side of the Jazz idiom, gigs, and Louloudis' graduation recital from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music are some of the occasions that tighten their musical and personal connection. In the summer of 2018, Clarke and Louloudis went to their mutual friend Leonid Galaganov to record this album, thus creating a milestone in their relationship. They decided to play some of Louloudis' compositions that he had written during the five year-period preceding this recording. Music that was birthed from all crevices and horizons experienced by him as he navigated life in New York City, being a Greek native, and the diversity of situations that this life brings. As may be apparent from listening to the album, both Clarke and Louloudis find their aesthetic preferences closer to the free jazz approaches. At the same time, one can understand that the two are heavily rooted in the jazz tradition as well as other important traditions that come from different places in the world.
