Aubrey Johnson presents 'The Lively Air'

Описание: Aubrey Johnson is pleased to announce the March 20, 2026 release of 'The Lively Air', the second album featuring her six-piece jazz ensemble. An exquisitely crafted program of original arrangements and songs, the album marks Johnson’s return to composing after several years focused primarily on recording and interpreting other artists’ music. The album serves as a brilliant companion to her critically hailed debut, the 2020 Outside In Music release 'Unraveled'.

Aubrey Johnson arranged all the pieces, except Omura’s “The Miracle Is In Us,” but fully credits her bandmates for their contributions. Omura and Aronoff have been part of the group since Johnson first assembled it for a residency at the lamented Cornelia Street Café. She has known Sawyer since they were undergrads together, and he took over the drum chair after the 2022 death of Jeremy Noller, to whom the album is dedicated. She knew LoRe from her graduate studies at New England Conservatory. Primarily an alto saxophonist, he stretched for the album. Pianist Chris McCarthy, who attended NEC after Johnson, rounds out the ensemble.

With 'The Lively Air', Johnson continues to define her own sonic space, a realm of startling and unapologetic beauty.
