FEATURED RELEASE
SOUND PRINTS -SCANDAL
Sound Prints, the innovative quintet co-led by saxophonist Joe Lovano and trumpeter Dave Douglas. On April 6, 2018, Greenleaf Music will release Scandal by Sound Prints.
“The defining trait of Sound Prints is the tangled crosstalk of its front line: an urbane, on-the-fly counterpoint brimming with crooked urgency, like a choice bit of dialogue in a David Mamet play.” – The New York Times
SUBSCRIBER SERIES
ON-DEMAND ACCESS TO EXCLUSIVE CONTENT
Every year for the past few years we have produced a special recording session to be released via our subscription series. Before that, we released special unreleased extras, outtakes, and other discographical oddities. It’s what you will get exclusively when you subscribe to Greenleaf Music.
