David Leon - Aire De Agua OUT NOW

 

David Leon - Aire De Agua (OOYH 011) released on Friday August 27, 2021. There's so much to be said for this album and this incredible quartet that David has put together, but we hope you'll take a listen and hear for yourself! When David first sent us the music it took one listen through the eight tracks to know that it had a home on OOYH Records, and that we would be thrilled to help spread the word about this truly remarkable recording. Aire De Agua showcases a bandleader and composer who is not only focused and driven, but humble and mature as well. And in addition to being an absolute force on alto the saxophone and and accomplished composer, David is a kind and immensely appreciative person. We had a blast working together on this, and we truly LOVE this music. Check the Bandcamp page as well for some liner notes by the amazing Kris Davis--you can read them while you listen to a track! Another absolutely stunning cover by our good friend TJ Huff (huffart.com). There is one track streaming everywhere that you can stream music called Strange and Charmed. The rest is all on Bandcamp, which is certainly the best way to listen to any music!

“David Leon not only arrives fully-formed on his first record, but his extroversion feels like a natural part of his musical personality, spiking his agile post-bop with nifty conceptual brio that never gets in the way of his desire to communicate” —Peter Margasak, The Quietus Complete Communion
