Item Information

Artist: Johnson, Aubrey
Title: The Lively Air
Genre: Jazz / Vocal Jazz
Label: GREENLEAF MUSIC

New York-based jazz vocalist and composer Aubrey Johnson presents her second studio album, her first on Dave Douglas’ Greenleaf Music record label, featuring her intricate and vibrant original music and arrangements. As on her first release, Unraveled, she’s teamed up with multi Grammy Award-winning producer/editor Steve Rodby (Pat Metheny Group) and engineer Rich Breen (Herbie Hancock, Diane Reeves, The Yellow Jackets). The album’s title is drawn from the lyrics of “The Waking”, a Theodore Roethke poem later set to music by Kurt Elling, and embodies the spirit of the music—buoyant, hopeful, and exuberant. In addition to her original compositions, the program also features two compositions by Johnson’s uncle (the late, great keyboardist and composer Lyle Mays), Joni Mitchell’s “Help Me”, and a piece by violinist Tomoko Omura (who also plays on the album.) The Lively Air is an exciting and worthwhile sophomore effort by an artist who has truly come into her own.
