about

Composed and Produced by Safe Jazz
Mixed and Mastered by Andy Baldwin

The album is called Giddy Up! The uniting feeling of this one is movement - I just wanted to make something effervescent & playful & brimming with energy. For most of the life of Safe Jazz I was really grounded in the beat scene, the J Dillas/Knxwleges of the world. But for this project I wanted to make something less syrupy/slinky. Over the last little while my creative north star has migrated towards new rhythms ~ so the universe I want to evoke has Four Tet, Flying Lotus, Jamie XX, Ross from Friends, Vegyn, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Caribou as constellations.

I composed and produced a lot of this from recordings I made traveling and collecting sounds with a zoom recorder. It made working mostly solo pandemic style a little bit more collaborative feeling - going back through catalogs of recordings made with friends.

I finished the album with the same buds I’ve been working on for my last couple albums Kosta Galanopoulos on drums and Andy Baldwin mixing and mastering. And we added one final touch - a live version of Precious Machinery which was recorded with a crew of incredible musicians and friends interpreting the original on mostly acoustic instruments.
