Morgan Guerin Tales of The Facade

A jazz artist to watch (NPR) and a virtuoso in the truest sense of the word (JazzTimes), Morgan Guerin spent nearly a year crafting his multi-dimensional Tales Of The Facade, layering instruments and sounds track upon track. And while an impressive amount of the album is performed solely by Guerin, he also enlisted stellar collaborators, including Georgia Anne Muldrow, Melanie Charles, Cisco Swank, Zacchaeus Paul, J Hoard, and Kokayi. Despite Guerins widespread acclaim as a jazz artist, it would be reductive to call this a "jazz album." "It touches a lot of different periods and styles of music," Guerin explains. "Wayne Shorter and John and Alice Coltrane are big influences, but so are people like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Minnie Riperton, and Kendrick Lamar. I wanted all of those sounds to be represented.

Whats left in the grooves obliterates concepts of genre even as it celebrates genres themselves. Now signed to Candid, Guerins music will finally reach an audience as vast and diverse as his musical vision.
