About the album

For his 36th recording as a leader, world-renowned vibraphonist Joe Locke has assembled a tightly knit quartet which brings to life a set of diverse and emotionally powerful original compositions, laying the framework for stellar contributions from special guests Adam Rogers (guitar), Dave Binney (alto), and vocalists Raul Midón and Alina Engibaryan. With Locke calling this recording “the total expression of who I am as a musician and human being,” subjects of love, loss, history and social awareness are laid out in six new works from Joe's pen and two blues-imbued covers by Bob Dylan and Blind Willie Johnson.

Für seine 36. Aufnahme als Leader hat der weltberühmte Vibraphonist Joe Locke ein eng vernetztes Quartett zusammengestellt, das eine Reihe verschiedener und emotional kraftvoller Eigenkompositionen zum Leben erweckt und den Rahmen für herausragende Beiträge der Ehrengäste Adam Rogers (Gitarre), Dave Binney (Alt) und der Sänger Raul Midón und Alina Engibaryan bildet. Locke nennt diese Aufnahme "den totalen Ausdruck dessen, was ich als Musiker und Mensch bin", Themen wie Liebe, Verlust, Geschichte und soziales Bewusstsein werden in sechs neuen Stücken aus Joes Feder und zwei bluesgetränkten Covern von Bob Dylan und Blind Willie Johnson dargelegt.
