“The Long Middle” from Sam Blakeslee & Wistful Thinking features an introspective journey of pastoral melodies and compositions in a chamber-jazz setting, akin to the small bands of Kenny Wheeler and Bob Brookmeyer. The music draws emotions from globally heightened feelings of distance, both geographically and socially.
“Composer, Sam Blakeslee, is a name to keep in mind as an upcoming creative, contemporary, and, more importantly, engaging composer, no matter the musical setting.” - Rufus Reid
