Brandee Younger’s ‘Brand New Life’ PLUS! Music We Love From PIERI, Midland, and More!

Forged in the crucible of the early days of the pandemic lockdown in 2020, Force Majeure, the inspirational collaboration between the incomparable harpist Brandee Younger and bassist Dezron Douglas, stands as a shining beacon among the jazz releases of the 21st century. Younger followed up this landmark release in 2021 with Somewhere Different, a powerful statement of talent and her first album on the legendary Impulse Records. On her second release for the label, Brand New Life, Younger doesn't just arrive on the scene—she commands the world's attention. Paying homage to her musical influences, particularly the legendary harpist Dorothy Ashby, Brand New Life not only showcases Younger's deep reverence for the music that shaped her but also her rightful place within its storied history and the boundless future it continues to shape.Join us for a captivating discussion on this extraordinary album!
