The wonder of music is that it allows us to tap into a dimension where things are more connected than they may at first seem. Zohar Argov, Horace Silver, Rumi, Fairouz, an Italian neighborhood in NY and a city in Uzbekistan - these are just some of the people and places that have inspired this album. This recording embodies an idea I’ve been exploring for some time - the idea that everything is connected. Just as we all have noses, mouths, eyes and ears - these inspirations share many of their own fundamental structures. This allowed us to bring in our own palette and process these songs through our own life experiences and our own voices.
Connecting the dots of our multi-layered identities and different cultures has been therapeutic, and we hope this can inspire you to join us, and to extend these connections even further.
