the 40 minute composition inherent brings forth an astonishing utilization of minimalist structures, demonstrating intense simplicity and stillness. in the course of the piece two groups of harmonies gradually emerge, intertwine and dissolve delving the spectrum of synchrony and displacement. it feels as if one would enter a room of liberating timelessness just through experiencing all subtle stages of two large
rhythms interlacing.
I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker

Probably my favorite jazz pianist in the game right now. I became obsessed with Sam’s playing through his work with Ambrose Akinmusire, especially on Rift in Decorum, their live record from The Village Vanguard. I’ve been listening to Sam’s other solo album, Interludes, on repeat and it’s a gem. Thankful to finally find HARMONY on Bandcamp and to dive in. The compositions are beautiful, soulful, and idiosyncratic. My hat’s off. Jonathan Reid
