Pre-Order: At The Carousel Club [LP]

From Grammy and Emmy Award-winning trumpeter, synthesist, and Academy Award-nominated film composer Mark Isham comes At the Carousel Club, a six-track album that brings together jazz improvisation, vintage analog electronics, and cinematic atmosphere into a single, deeply personal statement. The album began with Isham's towering collection of vintage analog synthesizers and modular instruments: a vast, interconnected system he used to generate massive electronic landscapes and evolving sonic textures. Those foundations became the architecture for live ensemble performance, recorded at the legendary Mad Hatter Studios with drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, bassist Kaveh Rastegar, guitarist Nels Cline, vocalist Ayo Awosika, and the Orchid String Quartet. At the center of it all is Isham's trumpet, lyrical, searching, and unmistakably human. Moving through each environment as an observer, a storyteller, and an improviser. The result is music that is electronic but organic, cinematic but intimate, structured yet alive with spontaneity. At the Carousel Club is a record for listeners who find themselves at the intersection of jazz, ambient, and contemporary classical music. For fans of Pat Metheny, Brian Eno, Jon Hassell, and Nils Frahm.
