It’s social media in the truest sense of the term: no algorithms, no computer-generated playlist. That’s why we’re rebooting that tradition for the digital age with our “Crate Digging” podcast series, in which we’ll search through crates of our memories to bring you a handful of album recommendations on a given theme. Remember record stores? Remember the thrill of turning your friends on to new music by swapping vinyl and CDs? Yeah, we do too. Time Traveler is out now via Origin Records and you can order it here. Listen to our podcast conversation with Nnenna Freelon via the player below. I found unexpected gifts of hope and joy in the palms of sorrow," says Freelon. "Singing from the heart of grief gave my voice a new shape and allowed a kind of freedom. In our conversation, we also discuss the themes of grief and loss that are at the heart of her new record. This allows us to expand on the central theme of our podcast. With its classic standards, jazz-infused re-imaginings of '70s soul hits and original compositions, Time Traveler compiles an intimate expression of love for her late husband, preeminent architect Philip Freelon, who passed away from ALS in 2019, and a universal love letter to all those who've lost someone dear.įreelon believes that music has a time-traveling quality.
Multi-GRAMMY nominated jazz vocalist Nnenna Freelon released her first album in more than a decade on May 11. While that album grappled with the legacy of Portuguese colonialism in Africa via her own family's history, Intimate Strangers gazes back at colonial powers from the vantage point of Africa itself. It also continues a narrative that Serpa began in 2020 with Recognition: Music For a Silent Film. Much of it revolves around Iduma's stories and stories of others that he collected in his book, A Stranger's Pose, and deals with such themes as migration and displacement. Her new album, Intimate Strangers, documents her collaborative and multi-media performance with Nigerian author Emmanuel Iduma, commissioned by John Zorn. She was born in Lisbon, Portugal, and moved to New York in 2008, where she resides to this day, and where she creates ethereal music drawing from a broad variety of inspirations, including literature, film and visual arts, as well as history and nature. Sara Serpa is a singer/composer/improviser who, through her practice and performance, explores the use of the voice as an instrument. In this series, you will hear conversations with artists and people talking about the significance of jazz as an art form, the influence of folk music traditions of different cultures and backgrounds, or simply sharing their thoughts, ideas and insight on their multicultural projects.
