Brooklyn-based artist Jonah Parzen-Johnson returns with the new album You're Never Really Alone. If you look at the label on the LP containing eight intimate compositions for baritone sax and flute, you will find the words, "we made this together." At first thought, this simple phrase may seem out of place on a solo record, but just like the compositions on this album, it was carefully crafted to cut to the core of what this music is all about. You're Never Really Alone arrives in stark contrast to Parzen-Johnson's 2020 We Jazz Records solo debut, Imagine Giving Up. Where Imagine Giving Up was celebrated for Parzen-Johnson's ability to assemble deeply evocative electro-acoustic sound worlds, You're Never Really Alone shows that Jonah can look you in the eye and say "my voice alone is enough." Across eight tracks, Parzen-Johnson, a Chicago native, explores the technical limits of his baritone saxophone and flute without ever making the listener feel like he has something to prove. You will find circular breathing, multiphonics, and explosive levels of sound, but more importantly, you will enjoy every moment of musical storytelling and compositional skill. This album is made for repeat listening.
