Jessica Ackerley - All of the colours are singing (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

“All Of the Colours Are Singing” is a musical parallel to the state of flux and massive transitions in my life during the past three years.

There has always been a tension between my roots in jazz and improvised music and other musical interests. After leaving New York City to pursue a PhD in Hawai’i I felt a freedom to lean into it more, but the geographic distances between myself and the album’s musicians presented various challenges.

How can you create inspiring, improvised music together with the distance of an ocean?

Time was limited for developing the band’s chemistry with rehearsals in New York and Honolulu. An urgency to create collective magic shines through in this music because of it. The core trio of Walter, Aaron and myself recorded in Manoa Valley, HI, and the string arrangements were remotely tracked back in Queens, NY, by my friend, Concetta. I continually felt the pull between each world, both musically and geographically.
