These “musical stories” honor New York City, Rosen’s Brooklyn ancestors, and jazz greats such as Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk, with nods to the bowed scat singing of Slam Stewart. The album includes one pre-composed piece, the poignant ballad “When We Say Goodbye,” a meditation on separation and change.
