Overview:

In 2019, vibraphonist & composer Joel Ross issued his Blue Note debut KingMaker to peeracknowledgment and wide critical acclaim. An introduction to his longstanding outfit GoodVibes, the album received nods from The New York Times’ Best Jazz of 2019, NPR Music’sJazz Critics Poll and Rolling Stone’s 2019 Jazz Listener’s Guide. Now, expanding the breadthof his expression with his second release Who Are You?, the young artist has actualized hissound.”This record is a culmination of our maturing – as people, as a band, within the music – it’sabout figuring out who we are,” says Ross. Who Are You? features familiar Good Vibesassociates Jeremy Corren on piano, Immanuel Wilkins on alto saxophone and Jeremy Duttonon drums, and introduces their newest collaborator, Kanoa Mendenhall on bass. HarpistBrandee Younger is also featured on five of the album’s tracks.Inspired by communication through storytelling – a method he absorbed, in part, workingwith such creative forces as Ambrose Akinmusire, Marquis Hill and Makaya McCraven – andwith input from producer Walter Smith III, Ross assembled the album’s narrative in halves.Tracks 1-7 provide setting, as well as character introductions; tracks 8-15, plot twists. Eachartist advances the spirit of risk-taking, while maintaining Ross’ vision for story structure.
