about

abbreviated liner notes:

Upon arriving to Chicago, I found myself in a strange space. Overall, I was now more self-sufficient, stable, and content than I’d ever been.
I also was very much alone personally and adrift socially.

I had time on my hands to write and practice, a relaxed mind, and access to dozens of instruments. I have taken that time to explore what I can do on my own.

Here is a record of what that has meant, musically speaking.

Bending Bridges
by Mary Halvorson

I saw the band that's on Bending Bridges live at the Newport Jazz Festival around 2013 and it was the only group there that made me cry. Mary is a fantastic writer and a major influence. Matt Riggen

Festival
by Matt Ulery

I'm lucky enough to know Matt and his humility doesn't belie what a deep composer he is, especially on 'Festival'. He also plays tuba and upright on this one, which sets the bar for the rest of us. Matt Riggen

Siglo XXI
by The Liberation Music Collective

I contributed ~50% of the compositions/arrangements to this record and played in the trumpet section. I believe art can expedite justice by lighting a fire under its audience, and I've seen it here. Matt Riggen
