The New York Second

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Sitting at the piano on my father's lap - he's playing and my hands are resting on his. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Brad Mehldau, Highway Rider Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band, Perceptual Joshua Redman, Elastic These albums helped inspire my compositions: to me they are everything that is also often said about my group's music - contemporary jazz that is “atmospheric”, “poetic” and “cinematic”. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “The Great Wait (with Harald Walkate, Max Sergeant & Lorenzo Buffa)” The Great Wait is about how sometimes anticipation can bring greater pleasure than whatever is anticipated.
