Jimmy Greene As We Are Now

"Greene reunites with his core quintet of longtime collaborators: pianist Aaron Goldberg, guitarist Mike Moreno, bassist Dezron Douglas, and drummer Jonathan Barber, musicians with whom he has shared decades of musical history. The album features notable guests including vocalist Javier Colon, organist Shedrick Mitchell, and percussionists Rogerio Boccato and Gabriel Globus-Hoenich. Ranging from the jubilant energy of ''Praises'' to the contemplative pieces ''Unburdened'' and ''Anhelando,"" Greene explores themes of memory, longing, and resilience while showcasing his expressive tenor and soprano saxophone work across compositions that blend African-American church traditions, Brazilian rhythms, Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz fundamentals" Track Listing: SIDE A 1.
