about

Iconic New York music master Daniel Carter is perhaps best known for his masterful command of saxophones, trumpet, and many other instruments. However, his immense talent doesn’t just manifest through his considerable musical ability, Carter’s genius also lies in his ability to create ensembles. Daniel knows how to put just the right musicians together even when externally everything about them seems completely different. Once he’s created these groups, Daniel operates in gentle ways to guide artists to collaborate and unify. Never condescending, he seems to intuitively know the chemistry of a successful band. Open Question is one of those bands.

The previous release from this band, Vol. 1 has been received very positively by listeners and press. Will Vol. 2, extracted from the same 2020 recording session as Vol. 1, perform as well? The answer is an Open Question and the only way to solve the riddle is to immerse oneself in the vast ocean of Daniel Carter’s sound and imagination, delivered to you through this particular crew.

I love this Band! a barge drifts in the invisible church, when its horn booms loud, crabs scuttle under pilings wait, the barge starts to lurch a clarinet heron flings its silver eye across a cloud the pulsing water leaves a song on the stone doorstep Sure as a newspaper written backwards. Morning and evening gossip about the vapor and tuck up their sleeves now know: what to look towards. Thomas Howell
