My Only Secret (DARK PURPLE VINYL) Vinyl Record

The ensemble saxophonists Reed Wallsmith and Joe Cunningham, drummer Ji Tanzer, keyboardist Rebecca Sanborn, and bassist Jon Shaw has been working together in a variety of formats since 2004, creating a solid body of work that has connected them to both the traditional sounds and the future-minded artists of their chosen genre.

What will always stay the same with Blue Cranes no matter how much they change as people, as players and as composers is the vibrant emotional core within the music they create. Each song on My Only Secret has a core memory attached to it, whether it is the birth of a child (Sloan), a parents comfort after the death of a beloved pet (Rhododendron), or the agony of the 2016 election results (Forward). They feel every moment of every song deeply, something which colors every note they play. Were a good emotional band, says Cunningham. We can go to that place. The beauty of My Only Secret, like all of the work Blue Cranes has produced to date, is that they want anyone and everyone to join them.
