Description

Re-entry is acclaimed musician Marianne Solivan’s fifth jazz album. Working with a group of musicians including Leandro Pellegrino (guitar), Steve Wood (bass), Jay Sawyer (drums) and Alex Terrier (saxophones) over the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Solivan first rehearsed a varied repertoire in an empty neighborhood bar, recording just as New York City was coming out of lockdown. In her words, “Everyone brought in music they loved, and we all jumped in on every song. Arrangements were shaped and reshaped until we all felt they were right. We had no allegiances to style or genre but only to our own musicianship and musicality.”

The resulting album is the first in ACP Records, a pathbreaking series that draws on musicians to vet and peer review new jazz recordings. Utilizing Solivan’s powerful, celebrated voice as an instrument in the ensemble, Re-entry is a must listen for anyone interested in jazz performance, jazz theory and improvisation, jazz voice, and jazz composition and arranging.
