While "identity" has become a loaded term in America, it remains relevant in the arts as cultural identity and shared experience provide the human foundation for creative work valuing community and tradition. On their debut album, New York's Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Jazz Collective, led by Taiwanese-American trombonist Peter Lin, honor their histories through the celebration of the imagination and the music that follows. Founded in 2019, the collective performs jazz-infused arrangements of classic and traditional Asian songs, as well as provocative original works from the group. Joining the quintet of Lin on trombone, Erena Terakubo on alto saxophone & flute, pianist Michael Bond, Daseul Kim on bass, and drummer Wen-Ting Wu, are guests, vocalist My Tam Huynh and Brandon Choi on trumpet. Traditions in transformation!... an incredibly moving collection of works that contributes to the unique voice of AAPI's as well as the dynamic cultural force that jazz represents. - Francis Wong, Asian Improv Records "... thrilling variety of musical influences.... I'm already hooked on "Alishan Girl" which is simply too easy to groove with and transports me... " - Hot House (NYC)
