![]() ![]() Hear Joey Alexander on Morning Jazz, playing music from Warna in January 2020. "Summer Rising" is available today on Verve. "I'm not really focusing on the marketing or how well it sells, but the music. "I thought these songs were solid musically, so why not just release them and see how people would react?" he says. The pianist would prefer to consider them an offering. Chiefs who no more in bloody fights engage, But wise through time, and narrative with age, In summer-days like grasshoppers rejoice - A bloodless race. ![]() So it's tempting to receive Alexander's three new singles, unattached to any album, as a pandemic status update. His Verve debut Warna received a warm reception, but since its release - in January 2020, a couple of months before the pandemic lockdown - there has been precious little time on the bandstand, and more opportunity for self-development. So it's pure coincidence that this song feels in some respects like a culmination of his recent efforts as a composer-bandleader.Īlexander, who of course was once hailed as a child prodigy, will turn 18 in June. The song's title originated with the word "Rising," with the "Summer" coming later: "To put the words together, as 'Summer Rising,' sounded really nice." Asked whether there was any intentional connotation in the homophone pronunciation "summarizing," Alexander laughs. I thought ‘Who would be the best to play it?’ And Jaleel Shaw, he played so beautifully." I was trying to find that tension in this song, while also - I'm always striving for beautiful melodies. "Then I started to create that mix of contrasts between beauty and also some rough edges, like we're facing now," he says. He spent a week working on the composition, starting with the foundation of groove. "And to me, 'Summer Rising' - I would say basically it's about, in this uncertainty: how do we rise above it?" "All three songs I wrote during the height of the pandemic," Alexander says. "Summer Rising" is the third standalone single that Alexander has released this spring, following " SALT" (in March) and " Under the Sun" (in April). ![]()
