Film by Mirav Ozeri
An intensely musical meeting of the minds - the recording finds Jack at the height of his creative and musical powers.
Recorded during a snow storm near DeJohnettes home in the Catskills in New York, MUSIC WE ARE, and its accompanying bonus DVD, captures the trios unparalleled connection, improvisational compositions, and as DeJohnette explains, a process of connecting in the studio and collectively following what made the most sense in a given moment to deliver a musical statement of profound depth and remarkable range.
MUSIC WE ARE, produced by DeJohnette/Patitucci/Perez, combines strictly composed pieces, organically developed in the studio by the trio, with spacious collective improvisations to showcase the three virtuosos performing double-duty: DeJohnette on drums and melodica; Patitucci on upright and electric basses; and Perez on piano and Fender Rhodes.
Since the launch of Golden Beams Productions in 2005, Jack DeJohnette has garnered two GRAMMY® nominations, including Peace Time, Grammy Winner in the Best New Age Album category. DeJohnette's wide-ranging style, capable of playing in any modern idiom while maintaining a well-defined voice, has kept him in demand as a drummer and as a bandleader, as well as a fan favorite. He is the winner of both DownBeat magazine and JazzTimes magazines Readers Polls for 2008 Drummer of the Year and Best Drums, respectively.
