They offer downloads in almost any format you can think of in a clean shopping cart, embeddable player widgets, and recently, the launch of new social engagement mechanisms has clearly shown how fervent the Bandcamp community is — a lot of folks say that it's the place where true music consumers go to engage with the music. And over the past few months, we've been migrating our catalog over there.

We're excited to announce and share with you new Linda Oh music. "Sun Pictures" is her second for Greenleaf after last year's "Initial Here." Linda has been busy since that release playing in Dave's Quintet, the Sound Prints Quintet with Dave and Joe Lovano, and a boatload of other projects. And it's from those travels and experiences that "Sun Pictures" came into focus — Linda calls the album "a set of musical postcards."
