About the Album
1. Breathe, the opener, is a meditative approach to jazz built upon a simple four-chord progression. I commend it as an avant-garde composition, notable for its orchestration that offers a moment of stillness amidst chaos, exploring the role of breath in managing anxiety and uncertainty. More about the EP: Jazz saxophonist and composer Zishi Liu unveils American Anxiety—a bold, genre-blurring EP arriving June 1, 2025. Blending avant-garde jazz with Chinese traditional music, including the Guzheng—an ancient instrument with over 3,000 years of history, Liu delivers a powerful sonic portrait of identity, tension, and transformation in modern America.
