Image Credit: Linderpix
The Echoes May CD of the Month is a collaboration between trumpeter Jeff Oster, guitarist Vin Downes and multi-instrumentalist Tom Eaton. Back in 2017, they came into our studio to play a live, improvised set of ambient music. At the time, and on the spot, they called themselves Departure. You can hear that concert here. It’s taken 7 years, but they have finally released an album, Seven Conversations. They changed their name, but the music remains the same. Their album, Seven Conversations, is a journey of ambient improvisations and intimate interplay. John Diliberto features it as the May CD of the Month on Echoes from PRX.

It almost sounds like Jeff Oster is playing a Flugelhorn rather than a trumpet, a la Chuck Mangione. Is he?
Sometimes. And often a trumpet with a mute.
