Description:

The music initially sprang out of a new synth I was discovering," Mehldau says. "I built up many of the tracks beginning with synths and Mark Guiliana on drums. Layers were added, and the human voice became an important elementâ??not with text, but as a pure expression of harmony and emotion. I worked with singers I've admired and been close to over the past several yearsâ??Becca Stevens, Kurt Elling, and Gabriel Kahaneâ??and sang myself as well. Strings and winds were added and the project became more orchestral, with features from stellar musicians: trumpet player Ambrose Akinmusire, tenor saxophonist Joel Frahm, and violinist Sara Caswell. A new experience for me on three of the tracks was to go the opposite as wellâ??doing everything as a one-man band. Both the collaborations and solo flights were a learning experience and full of discovery.â? -
