Tom Kennedy
Autumn Hill Records, On Sale and Streaming March 22, 2024!
Legendary pianist Keith Jarrett once said of his recorded music, “If there were words to express it, there would be no need for the music.”
Ironically, Keith’s sentiment provided the perfect verbiage for describing the process I’ve experienced in creating the music for this album. These compositions did not come to me in complete thoughts, but rather as bits and pieces of melody, harmony, or rhythm to build from, much as in a live improvisation. A single notes or chord could inspire a pathway to a new section or critical transition of a song, and at times a completely orchestrated idea would just pop into my head. No method, no foresight…just the music.

"Clearwater" (single now streaming)
Michael Silverman and Eric Marienthal
Autumn Hill Records, 2022
feat. John Patitucci, Rob Silverman and Casey Adams
The second single from the upcoming album collaboration In These Times, "Clearwater" is a joyful and soulful tune inspired by the good memories of performing many times in Clearwater, FL. Remembering travel and camaraderie among musicians was how we spent those early days of the pandemic, and we collaborated in the only way we could during that period of isolation: online recording. And it was an uplifting activity that spurred so much creativity for many artists, in spite of the troubles of the world.
