Noah Garabedian Releases “Quartets and Solos” Featuring Dayna Stephens, Carmen Staaf, and Jimmy Macbride
Bassist Noah Garabedian‘s new album, Quartets and Solos, is now available. Just as the title implies, it features Garabedian’s quartet featuring Dayna Stephens on tenor saxophone and EWI, Carmen Staaf on piano, and Jimmy Macbride. The full-band songs are punctuated with solo pieces from each of the members.
Quartets and Solos is further accentuated by Samuel Adams, who provides synths, effects, programming, and composition.
“Samuel is such a curious and open person, always seeking to learn, listen, and converse,” Garabedian states. “Although he has a clear, unique voice as a composer, I love that I can hear many different influences in his compositions, and he constantly inspires me to push myself.”
Hear more about the project from the bassist:
Get a taste of the album with “The Hawk,” which begins with a theme by Staaf before the Garabedian enters with his own melody. After the rest of the band joins in, the bassist takes a killer solo at the 3:05 mark.
Quartets and Solos is out now digitally via Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more.
