Sullivan Fortner, though, is the X-factor, his unorthodox textural pianism conjuring wisps of Bernstein’s longtime collaborator, Brad Mehldau.”\u003cbr\u003e\n— Gary Fukushima, Downbeat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e“Throughout this recording, Bernstein stays mostly in the forefront, so it’s easy to focus on his fluid lines, but the album becomes even more enjoyable when listening closely to the rhythm section, which, as stated, is as good as it gets for straight-ahead jazz.”\u003cbr\u003e\n— Jim Hynes, Glide Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e“As one might expect, the collection of tunes is a straight-ahead romp, with a spirit of true adventurism.

The set features a series of Bernstein originals including the quarantine penned “What Comes Next” and the haunting “Empty Streets.” The rich program also includes Dizzy Gillespie’s beloved Con Alma, a beautiful rendition of the elegant Standard and 2020 anthem “We’ll Be Together Again,” and a joyful, album closing “Newark News,” a previously unrecorded calypso written by Sonny Rollins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAlthough the title certainly echoes the question on the many minds of many–locked away, wary of leaving the house during a global pandemic, divided by politics and protests, all during a fractious U.S. Presidential election year –Bernstein very deliberately left off the question mark. While the interrogative continues to apply, especially for musicians in a world without gigs, Bernstein set out to make a statement as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e“Without the question mark, WHAT COMES NEXT implies that you have some idea, some intention,” Bernstein explains. “That seems like such a huge concept now, but it’s inherent to the very idea of playing jazz. It’s the basic question that we deal with all the time when we’re given the freedom to improvise: now what do I play? What note should come next? Where are we in the conversation? With everybody’s lives being put on hold, that idea can be extended beyond the fact of just playing music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ereleased October 18, 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePeter Bernstein – guitar\u003cbr\u003e\nSullivan Fortner – piano\u003cbr\u003e\nPeter Washington – bass\u003cbr\u003e\nJoe Farnsworth – drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRecorded Live on June 25, 2020\u003cbr\u003e\nat Sear Sound Studio C, New York\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProduced by Paul Stache \u0026amp; Damon Smith\u003cbr\u003e\nRecording, Mixing \u0026amp; Mastering Engineer: Chris Allen\u003cbr\u003e\nLiner Notes by Steve Futterman\u003cbr\u003e\nPhotography by Jimmy \u0026amp; Dena Katz\u003cbr\u003e\nDesign by Damon Smith \u0026amp; Paul Stache\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smoke Sessions Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56382101160318,"sku":"SSR-2007-CD","price":44.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4161\/5230\/files\/SSR-2007-CD.jpg?v=1760095100","url":"https:\/\/8merch.shop\/products\/peter-bernstein-what-comes-next-cd","provider":"8Merch Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
