The artist states, “For me, these songs are a moment of growth – a moment of reflection, a turning point in my life for better or for learning”. This album delves into love, loss, deception, and new beginnings and reveals intimate stories from Finnegan’s life’s journey. Finnegan, for his part, played trumpet and flugelhorn on this cinematic album amidst an all-star cast of five other instrumentalists, adding a string quartet to three of the nine compositions. Finnegan acknowledges diverse influences on this album; from intimate family experiences to the mentorship of Mathew Buchman in a small town in Wisconsin, to colleagues at the Brevard Jazz Institute, and other supportive relationships shaping his unique path.
The project features the talents of Zachary Finnegan (Compositions, arrangements, trumpet, flugelhorn) Lenard Simpson III (Alto saxophone, soprano saxophone), Matt Gold (Guitar), Julius Tucker (Piano), Ethan Philion (Bass) and Camila Mennitte Pereyra (Drums).
