about

Questions For A New Day fulfills a long-standing desire to record a sparse, poignant, completely solo double bass album which allows me to capture the beauty of the instrument as a stand-alone voice, something I love dearly. Most of my recent solo forays have been with looped and effect-enhanced electric bass, so this was a chance to do something totally different, a little looser and more spontaneous.

The concept for this project bloomed after I re-discovered the handwritten chart for the lead-off tune 'Longing', a piece I wrote in 2004. It was recorded and played only once before this, for an unreleased duo record I did with pianist Bill Gerhardt. The melody stands up well on its own in an unaccompanied form, and sets up the theme of the rest of the album well. Space, simplicity, and intimacy are the key themes I chose to explore overall.

The 'Day Suite' was a completely improvised, loose series of themes that I recorded and then trimmed down to fit the 'mood' of each movement of the suite. In the purest sense, the music wrote itself. 'Late Rising In The Morning' is a country waltz piece that I've played for over 10 years with various bands that seemed to lend itself well to this project.

The record is very much improvised (with errors and vulnerable out of tune moments here and there) and was recorded all in one long afternoon session early in December, 2018. My hope is that it becomes a sonic companion as people start and move through their days… or that it brings comfort at the end of a trying day.
