“one of the more important jazz releases of the 21st Century” - The New York City Jazz Record
This is the second Borderlands Trio album, recorded on December 10, 2020. It was deeply meaningful for the three of us to connect in the studio at that time, deep in the pandemic, and explore together. This double CD features all four of the pieces we created on that very special day, which we later found out was Eric McPherson’s 50th birthday. This band is just magical.
