Ten ambitny projekt jest pierwszym dziełem Thomasa na duży zespół, oferującym ekspansywne i bogate emocjonalnie doświadczenie słuchowe, które bada głębię muzycznego opowiadania historii.
W tym odkrywczym projekcie Thomas występuje wraz z jednymi z najbardziej pomysłowych luminarzy współczesnego jazzu, w tym trębaczem Adamem O'Farrillem, saksofonistą altowym Immanuelem Wilkinsem, saksofonistką tenorową Nicole Glover, puzonistą Calebem Smithem, basistą Kanoa Mendenhallem i perkusistą Kweku Sumbry.

Editor's info:
Celebrated Pianist and Composer Micah Thomas Takes an Expedition Through the Agony and Ecstasy of Life on Kinetic, Vivid New Album Mountains, out September 13, 2024, on Artwork Records
Artwork Records is proud to announce the September 13, 2024 release of Mountains, the highly anticipated new album from celebrated jazz pianist and composer Micah Thomas. This ambitious project marks Thomas’ first large ensemble work, offering an expansive and emotionally rich listening experience that explores the depths of musical storytelling. This exploratory project features Thomas alongside some of the most inventive luminaries in modern jazz, including trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, trombonist Caleb Smith, bassist Kanoa Mendenhall and drummer Kweku Sumbry.
Drawing inspiration from his lifelong love of acoustic large ensemble music, Thomas reflects on the profound impact that formative musical experiences have had on his artistic development. Mountains is a testament to his journey through various musical influences, from Itzhak Perlman’s orchestral performances to the emotive power of Charles Mingus’ “The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady,” and the bold narratives of Mahler, Stravinsky, and Prokofiev.
Mountains is the result of a 2022 residency commission by New York City’s The Jazz Gallery. This album was recorded live over four sets of evocative performances at the iconic venue, taking place on June 16 – 17, 2023. The energy of the live atmosphere of this NYC cultural incubator abounds on each track of this illustrious release. Thomas indicates, “With Mountains, I wanted to create a collection that delivers a cathartic, massive experience for both performers and the audience. It’s about capturing the incredible familial feeling and overflow of spirit that only a large group of musicians can create.”
The album is structured to evoke the grandeur and diversity of the natural landscapes represented. Thomas meticulously crafted each piece to explore a wide range of contrasts—complex structures versus simplicity, repetition versus novelty, and intimate solos versus full ensemble sections. This juxtaposition aims to create a dynamic and unpredictable musical narrative. In short – Mountains rejects predictability and the orthodox in the name of creation. The album strikes a balance of telling a cohesive story without relying on tired structures and cliches.
Thomas composed the album in a fluid, improvisational manner, allowing the music to evolve organically. “I intentionally wrote in the moment, letting each section lead me to the next,” he explains. “This method allowed me to capture the natural movement of the human imagination and heart.”
