About the Album

Night Bird, written by saxophonist and arranger Al Cohn has only been recorded a handful of times. With lyrics by Kitty Malone ,this is a beautiful and haunting song that should be part of the American Songbook. It was introduced to Muffy by Joe Cohn, Al Cohn's son and award winning guitarist in his own right. This recording features Isaac Raz on piano and Tiffaney Lane on violin. The lyrics seem to convey the longing for the bird, the person who only travels elusively at night but emerges as stars turn to day. For the singer on this recording it is especially meaningful as Joe Cohn brought this song to her to learn for their duo work and because of her work and advocacy for the safety of birds who migrate at night through our cities twice a year.
