In the late summer of 2018, Will, Vin Downes, Todd Mosby, and Trevor Gordon Hall gathered together at Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont to record together.
With a natural synergy between the players and engineer Tom Eaton at the helm, there was complete trust that this would be a special project. The recordings that resulted from this meeting of minds far exceeded expectations.
The sessions captured many delicate and often unplanned moments, pushing each contributor in new directions. The end product is an exciting mixture of solos, duets, trios, and quartets.
This rare and intimate collaboration between friends honors the aesthetic and vitality that Will Ackerman pioneered with Windham Hill all those years ago.
