Ghosts of Us (2023)
Emily Kuhn
Chicago-based trumpet player Emily Kuhn has made a name for herself as a composer and trumpeter with a distinctively lyrical voice. With her sophomore album, “Ghosts of Us,” she brings this lyricism to her quintet featuring some of Chicago’s most creative and dynamic improvisers: Erik Skov on guitar, Meghan Stagl on piano, Kitt Lyles on bass, and Gustavo Cortiñas on drums. The group relies on their strong foundation of musical trust to deftly navigate influences from jazz, rock, chamber music, and Americana.

“strong foundation of musical trust to deftly navigate influences from jazz, rock, chamber music, and Americana.”
“meditaciones sobre la inmovilidad, la conexión, el dolor y la esperanza, entrelazados entre ritmos colindantes de jazz, shoegaze, música de cámara, post rock y rock ácido.”
