March 12 and 13, 2024, mark the 27th anniversary of the sessions for "As We Are Now," Renee Rosnes' fifth album as a leader. Renee recorded six of her compositions on this album; we are releasing three today, and the other three will be available very soon. This all-star quartet album features Renee with saxophonist Chris Potter, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Jack DeJohnette.
Newly added today are the title track As We Are Now, a beautiful ballad, and Bulldog's Chicken Run and Black Holes - both challenging yet fun medium-up songs with intricate quartet arrangements. Besides lead sheets for all three, we have a piano melody part for As We Are Now, a condensed score and bass part for Bulldog's Chicken Run, and piano and bass parts for Black Holes.
