Description:honey from a winter stone, which Ambrose calls a ??self-portrait", features improvisational vocalist Kokayi, pianist Sam Harris, Chiquitamagic on synthesizer, drummer Justin Brown, and the Mivos Quartet (violinist Olivia Deprato andMaya Bennardo, violist Victor Lowrie Tafoya, cellist Tyler Borden). It follows up Akinmusire??s 2023 Nonesuch debut Owl Song, which was recently nominated for a Best Jazz Instrumental Album Grammy Award and received critical praise, with the Guardian calling it a ??beautiful trio album ? As befits the title, Owl Song doesn??t raise its voice much, but what it quietly says is joyously vivid, even spine-tingling.? -
The album, which Ambrose calls a "self-portrait," features improvisational vocalist Kokayi, pianist Sam Harris, Chiquitamagic on synthesizer, drummer Justin Brown, and the Mivos Quartet (violinist Olivia Deprato and Maya Bennardo, violist Victor Lowrie Tafoya, cellist Tyler Borden). Akinmusire also says, "In many respects this entire work is inspired by and is an homage to the work of the composer Julius Eastman and his organic music concept. "This album is about the fears and struggles I personally face, as well as those many Black men endure: colorism, erasure, and the question of who gets to speak for my community, and why," Akinmusire explains. "There's also the constant negotiation of what happens when I don't conform to certain expectations or when I choose to reject those imposed on me. These are the complexities I navigate daily."When I made this album, I was thinking about others who face these same struggles," he continues. "I'm always considering who I represent-on all levels, in all the roles I play within my various communities. It's about understanding the weight of those roles and the responsibility that comes with them."
