Reflective Nostalgia

Musician: Hunter Diamond

Publisher: Curio Records (2020)

Reflective Nostalgia (CUR001), the debut solo album from Chicago artist Hunter Diamond, capturing him as he revisits the landscape of his native North Florida. Recorded while in residence at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, Diamond uses the site-specific sounds of the ACA amphitheater and surrounding environment to blend his past studies of jazz with his current interest in improvised and experimental musics. In this document, you'll hear Diamond solely playing the tenor saxophone (currently a rare occurrence) in conversation with the natural and mechanistic sonic landscape: cicadas and trains, crickets and planes, thunder and a/c units.
