Now increasingly active in Los Angeles--where the scene is ever more intertwined with Chicago's--Dayhuff chose to return to the city that shaped her for this album. As the title suggests, the record is about both innovation and lineage: the currents that seeped into her musical DNA and perhaps became even clearer after she left Chicago. One pivotal moment ...

Dall'altra la prematura scomparsa nel marzo 2022 di Ron Miles, mentore di due componenti della formazione, al quale è dedicata la suite che comprende i primi quattro brani. In origine lo stesso Miles doveva essere parte ...

The Covid-19 lockdown of 2020 and 2021 mandated that musicians find ways to connect without gathering in person. The pandemic produced a litany of recordings that along with photos of masked loved ones, will serve as tacit reminders of two years of solitude and isolation. For Esthesis Quartet this meant gathering on Zoom to keep the creative juices flowing, and to continue to write inspired music with the quartet in mind. While it is undeniable that this recording bears the ...
