About the Album
As one of Canada's foremost contemporary jazz artists, William Carn continually strives to redefine himself. His innovative CHOICES project masterfully fuses digital soundscapes with traditional instrumentation, creating a unique sonic tapestry. The Unburdening, this project’s sophomore release, offers a resonant exploration of the human condition, confronting the everyday struggles for peace and happiness through themes of loneliness, anxiety, and ultimate rebirth. This remarkable album is a testament to national collaboration, recorded entirely remotely with the invaluable contributions of Canada's most celebrated musicians and soloists. William Carn extends his sincere appreciation for their collective artistry in bringing The Unburdening to life. “With this new solo recording, Carn showcases a diversity of approach and modernity of tone that doesn’t eschew his incredibly strong traditional roots.” The Unburdening was released worldwide on Friday, July 18th 2025.
