Sam Wilkes, Craig Weinrib, and Dylan Day

SAM GENDELとの共作でも知られる、LAの実力派ジャズ・ベーシストSAM WILKESがCRAIG WEINRIBとDYLAN DAYと共に、南カリフォルニアで夕暮れにセッションした極上のクワイエット・ジャズ作品!!

サム・ゲンデルとのデュオはもちろん、日本では星野源の楽曲への参加でお馴染みのLAの実力派ベーシスト、サム・ウィルクスが、同じくLAを拠点に活躍するドラマーのクレイグ・ウェインリブ、ギタリストのディラン・デイと共演した注目のトリオ作品。サンバーナディーノ山脈が見える南カリフォルニアの空の下、夕暮れに行ったセッションを収録。その後、ウィルクスがディラン・デイにアントニオ・カルロス・ジョビンの演奏を、ディランがクレイグに葬送行進曲の演奏を聴きたいとリクエストし、クレイグ本人も優しく穏やかな演奏を残したいという希望のもと、屋外セッションから8ヶ月後に再集合し、本作のピースが揃った。「Too Young To Go Steady」や「How Insensitive」といったジャズ・スタンダード、フォークソング、賛美歌などの上で三者三様の即興演奏を披露し、音を楽しむ彼らの運命的な出会いとその親和性を記録したメモリアルな1枚が完成した。

Most of this recording was made during a single early evening in Southern California, outdoors, with the San Bernardino Mountains in view.

Sam Wilkes played bass guitar, Craig Weinrib played trap drums, and Dylan Day played electric guitar.

Eight months after that dusk recording session, the trio reconvened to capture a few more pieces. Wilkes wanted to hear Dylan play a Jobim melody (How Insensitive), Dylan wanted to hear Craig play a funeral march (When I Can Read My Titles Clear), and Craig wanted to play nice and gentle.

The resulting record, a document of an initial and seemingly fated musical encounter, conveys the ease and the intensity of the trio’s chemistry. Their shared sonic affinities, while essential to the record’s sound, feel secondary to the integrity, confidence, and mutual regard that suffuse each note and every beat.

Atop standards, folk songs, and hymns, Wilkes, Weinrib, and Day unfurl a series of cascading improvisations. Joyful and precise music.

Sam Wilkes is from Westport, Connecticut and lives in Los Angeles, California. Craig Weinrib is from New York and lives in New York. Dylan Day is from Fletcher, Vermont and lives in Los Angeles, California.

bio:
Los Angeles-based composer, producer, bassist, and multi-instrumentalist Sam Wilkes makes meditative, emotional, and, at times, psychedelic music steeped in genre fusion and collaboration. A frequent collaborator of saxophonist Sam Gendel and eclectic composer Louis Cole, Wilkes is an integral member of the Los Angeles Jazz-Adjacent scene.

Wilkes has now made his version of an indie rock record – Where he can be heard playing bass, guitars, keyboards, drums, percussion, arranging for string octet, utilizing the studio as an instrument through sonic experimentation, and, perhaps most importantly: Singing.

Wilkes performs live primarily playing a fender precision bass while sitting down.
