Peace Flag Ensemble return with standalone single This City Is A Queen, their contribution to Piano Day, which takes place on March 29.
Having recently moved, Jon Neher was able to relocate his childhood piano to his new home. What it lacked in tuning it more than made up for in nostalgia. Neher states “There’s a lot of complicated emotions wrapped up on the improvisation and I think the recording is a great representation of how I’m feeling, gingerly entering a new stage in my life.” Neher is joined by the piece by Dalton Lam on flugelhorn and Michael Scott Dawson contributing “other sounds”. It also marks the first time the free jazz collective has used percussion, with the succinct introduction of their newest member Mike Thievin on the trap set.
