The forthcoming ‘An Exquisite Moment’ is the perfect platform to experience Joel Goodman’s deeply personal and improvisation-rich “full-experience” music. This is a milestone album for the Emmy-winning composer of more than 150 film and television projects. Here, he embarks on an epic voyage of self-discovery alongside some of the most accomplished and creative names in jazz. Special guests Randy Brecker (flugelhorn, trumpet), Brandee Younger (harp), Lisa Fischer (vocals), John Patitucci (bass), and Philippe Saisse (piano, vibes, marimba) join an A-team core group consisting of Donny McCaslin (saxophones), Eric Harland (drums), Adam Rogers (guitar), Mino Cinélu (percussion), Scott Colley (bass) and Goodman himself on keyboards and bass. Together they take flight on the wings of music written by Goodman in a spontaneous burst of creativity.
“Although I’ve spent my life composing, most film music can sound incomplete without visuals or a story,” Goodman says. “An Exquisite Moment, however, is about creating a full listening experience radically different from my film work. I wrote and recorded it simply for the sake of making good music – and I found the process completely liberating.”
The album is released this June 23rd. For further information visit https://www.joelgoodman.com/
