Minnie Jordan - What Larks (November 1, 2021)

WHAT LARKS is an album inspired by and dedicated to birds: increasingly threatened, entirely critical, and often overlooked members of our world. WHAT LARKS is a both a hopeful paean to the joy of playing and collaborating with other musicians after a year of isolation, and an elegy for the winged musicians we are in danger of losing.
