Rataplan Records NYC happily announces the CD release of "Melt All the Guns" on June 4th 2021. Melt All the Guns - (RRnyc 008) Ralph Alessi - Trumpet Angelica Sanchez - Piano Devin Gray - Drums & Composition Brooklyn based drummer & composer Devin Gray leads a new trio project of original compositions with master musicians Ralph Alessi on trumpet, and Angelica Sanchez on piano. The project showcases the musicians abilities to surf through advanced ensemble notation while creating new spaces for inspired collective improvisations. "The music on this recording was composed during the fall of 2019 after several gun violence incidents took place. The increase of gun violence over the years and particularly in the United States has upset me so much that I need to speak out. Simply put, we need to expand awareness and work for a future free from gun violence. June 4th was the 7th National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and there are many local events including the Wear Orange Campaign that I recommend investigating. This trio recording was luckily captured after we played some concerts in Canada and the States, and uniquely explores expressions of my feelings around those infuriating times albeit pre-pandemic. I hope you can support not only the impact of the song titles from this recording, but also all artists you know and love during these challenging times." - Devin Gray https://rataplanrecordsnyc.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rataplanrecordsnyc/ https://twitter.com/RataplanRecNYC Source:: http://www.devingraymusic.com
