Four albums I had on repeat this week:
~ Armbruster, Masses
~ Earth, The Bees Made Honey In The Lion’s Skull
~ Wadada Leo Smith & Amina Claudine Myers, Central Park’s Mosaics of Reservoir, Lake, Paths and Gardens
~ Vince Guaraldi, A Charlie Brown Christmas
I went to Central Park for the first time just before I found out the great Wadada Leo Smith and Amina Claudine Meyers had recorded an album about it. With an overcast New York springtime still fresh in my head, I wrote about it for @pitchfork. https://t.co/0SO8YWzac3
We are thrilled to announce the official release of the album "Central Park's Mosaics of Reservoir, Lake, Paths and Gardens" by Wadada Leo Smith and Amina Claudine Myers.
The album is now available on CD / 180gr translucent LP / Digital: https://t.co/pG1kV0U1vb
