COORDINATES Musician Appreciation Post: The Winds
With the release of my new album COORDINATES coming up fast, I want to take some time to highlight the amazing musicians who made this project possible. One of the defining aspects of this album is the diversity of wind instrumentation and individuality represented by this collection of virtuosi: flutist KATISSE BUCKINGHAM, alto saxophonist NICOLE McCABE, alto and baritone saxophonist GAVIN TEMPLETON, contralto clarinetist BRIAN WALSH, and bassoonist JON STEHNEY. Each of these woodwind masters contributed both incisive ensemble playing and mind-blowing solos.
On “Coordinate 2: Apophis” Brian Walsh’s snake-like contralto clarinet leads the way and Nicole McCabe’s blistering alto solo whips the band into a frenzy. On “Josephine’s Dream” Jon Stehney’s lyrical bassoon provides a soulful counterpoint to the angular flugelhorn melody. On “Coordinate 3: Syzygy” Katisse Buckingham layers 3 flute parts and takes an absolutely mesmerizing alto flute solo. On “Coordinate 4: Nemesis” Gavin Templeton roars with a fiery baritone saxophone solo. And a particularly highlight “Old Ghosts” demonstrates the earth-rumbling power of contralto clarinet and contrabassoon in tandem as Walsh and Stehney conjure phantoms!
These amazing woodwind players are second-to-none and include some of my oldest friends and greatest contemporary inspirations. I’m so excited to share their incredible artistry with you!
COORDINATES is out everywhere this Friday, August 29th on Orenda Records.
