Thomas Morgan Around You Is A Forest Vinyl

The long-awaited debut album from bassist-composer Thomas Morgan is a lush, layered journey through ambient textures and open improvisation. Featuring an all-star cast—Bill Frisell, Craig Taborn, Ambrose Akinmusire, Immanuel Wilkins, Henry Threadgill, Dan Weiss, and Gerald Cleaver—the record is both spacious and intricate, with Morgan’s own virtual instrument “The WOODS” shaping its organic feel. The inclusion of poet Gary Snyder’s voice adds another dimension to this environmental soundscape. Around You Is A Forest is co-produced by David Breskin and Jakob Bro and represents a bold statement from one of jazz’s most revered collaborators stepping fully into the spotlight.Thomas Morgan: Double BassDan Weiss: TablaCraig Taborn: Farfisa Organ, Fender Rhodes, Synthesizers, Field RecordingsGerald Cleaver: DrumsHenry Threadgill: Flute, Bass FluteAmbrose Akinmusire: TrumpetBill Frisell: Acoustic and Electric GuitarsImmanuel Wilkins: Alto SaxophoneGary Snyder: VoiceThe WOODS virtual instrument, programmed by Thomas Morgan, appears on all tracks.
