Transition[s]

Description

Our very first sounds mingled and thrilled to aptly create “Openings”, before traversing an essentially cinematic flow of thematic title suggestions — with ‘space being the place’ in and around “Transition”, as well as the session’s surprise standard, “I Fall in Love Too Easily”. Eventually, we concluded with our own “Epilogue”. An entire album in just a couple of jewel-like hours, enhanced by a typically glorious June midday, united back in Brooklyn (with another belch worthy lunch to boot, yo!).

Digest well,
