Six of the album’s 11 tracks were improvised, but this track in particular really felt like a song. I wanted to highlight that by performing it solo piano. I recreated each melodic section that we came up with on the original and, in the true spirit of jazz, improvised in between.” --- ARTIST Sam Barsh @sambarsh --- PRODUCTION Filmed and edited by Story Unit Studios @storyunitstudios Anthony JP Sabino Director, Cinematographer & Editor @anthonyjpsabino --- THE PENYC SESSIONS Live studio sessions capturing intimate performances from compelling independent artists, straight from New York City.
