about

These have been strange times in so many ways, and remain so, between racism, social inequities, climate change, the pandemic...but we are also the beneficiaries of light that illuminates and catalyzes our existence. Light and its metaphors are inherently egalitarian; the light that “wraps me” also “wraps all things”. We’re all in it together, and it shines on us without individual regard. The human collective can come to terms with this, and get along, or the light will innocently and beneficently continue to shine on our collective disappearance. How well the music in “*The Light That Wraps Me and All Things*” reflects this is up to you.

This music owes so much to *Adam Holzman*, who once again reminds us that he matches the creativity, technique, nuance, grace, and personality that he has on electric instruments on the acoustic piano. This is as much our piece as my piece; Adam, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
