It was created together with bassist Joshua Abrams (Natural Information Society, of which Stein has been a member since 2017), drummer Gerald Cleaver (whose bona fides run deep \u0026amp; wide), and guest artist\/co-producer Boon. \u003ci\u003eAnchors\u003c\/i\u003e is a suite of great beauty and potency, moving from meditative calms to lyrical buoyancy to gripping intensity and againto a transformative peace found in unity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnchors are, so often, symbolic of strength and stability. They reflect our capacity to steady ourselves in turbulent waters, allowing us to traverse the deepest seas. With anchors aboard, we can quell our fears, weather the storm, and chart forth. In all their looming weight, anchors allow us to be free. With \u003ci\u003eAnchors\u003c\/i\u003e, Jason Stein emerges with a luminous tribute to anchors of his own. Amidst the discomfort of transformation, he reaches into a reservoir of resilience and invites us to do the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn \u003ci\u003eAnchors\u003c\/i\u003e, Stein is joined by bassist Joshua Abrams and drummer Gerald Cleaver, two illustrious improvisers rooted as much in the jazz tradition as they are in contemporary experimental approaches. Abrams' grounding in multifarious music traditions gives way to a visionary synthesis of styles, perhaps most apparent in his acclaimed Natural Information Society. Stein has recorded and toured with the group since 2017, and the unmistakable intuitive interplay between these long-time collaborators is a through-line on\u003ci\u003eAnchors\u003c\/i\u003e. Gerald Cleaver, a definitive stylist in the international creative music community, works with Stein for the first time here, shaping the record with a skillful prowess as impressive as his distinctive sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD:deluxe 6-panel digipak, printed on heavyweight board.\u003cbr\u003eLP: black vinyl, jacket printed on heavier weight board.includes full-res download card, strictly limited LP edition of 500.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason Stein: bass clarinet, compositions\u003cbr\u003eJoshua Abrams: bass\u003cbr\u003eGerald Cleaver: drums\u003cbr\u003e+ Boon: guitar on 'Anchor', compositions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420532658561,"sku":"2398562","price":27.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0642623801611.jpg?v=1750593167","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2398562","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
