Jack Soref CD Release Party
"Rain on the Terrace" is an album featuring 12 of my original compositions. Many of them are dedications to people and places I hold dear. The album is a culmination of a decade of collaboration with friends and fellow musicians, Jameson Stewart and Sven Larson. At the same time, it's also a vivid snapshot of a few days in the studio with some of my favorite artists. Some of the tunes featured on "Rain on the Terrace" have the resonance of pieces that have evolved over many years; others crackle with the electricity of new work. All of them took on another life when we got into the studio. The addition of Jim Guttmann, playing bass on four of the tracks, and special guest Dallas Vietty on accordion brought even more dimensions to the project.
