With the formation of David Murray's newest Quartet—one of the jazz world’s revelations of 2024—he has re-emerged as a leading voice of the current state of the art. For their Impulse! Records debut, the band recorded at Van Gelder Studio and drew inspiration from music that pre-dates the human race—bird song. Birdly Serenade serves as a new installment of The Birdsong Project - six of the originals took shape at an artists’ retreat in the Adirondacks, amidst lakes, forests, and endless sky. Tracklist:1.
