That’s the idea at the heart of Canadian artist Emily Carr’s painting “Scorned as Timber, Beloved of the Sky,” which depicts a solitary tree, rejected by loggers who have clear-cut its neighbors, stretching improbably but majestically into the heavens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIt’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with pianist\/composer Renee Rosnes. On her album, BELOVED OF THE SKY–where Carr’s painting provides the inspiration for the title track, album title, and cover art–Rosnes explores the beauty and wonder to be found in life’s more elusive, intangible joys. The album’s nine pieces ruminate on pleasures and inspirations that don’t come with a price tag–the splendor of nature, the mysteries of the universe, the comforts of home, the treasured memories of lost loved ones, the simple warmth of an inside joke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBELOVED OF THE SKY also celebrates the chemistry and discovery made possible by a band of truly remarkable musicians: saxophonist Chris Potter, vibraphonist Steve Nelson, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Lenny White. “The beautiful thing about working with such masters,” Rosnes says, “is that when we play new music, they all bring their wealth of experience, taste, skill and imagination to the music. It’s exciting for me as a composer to write something and then see how it blossoms, because inevitably it’s going to sound a little different than what I imagined – in a great way.”\u003cbr\u003e\ncredits\u003cbr\u003e\nreleased April 6, 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRenee Rosnes – piano\u003cbr\u003e\nChris Potter – saxophones \u0026amp; flute\u003cbr\u003e\nSteve Nelson – vibraphone\u003cbr\u003e\nPeter Washington – bass\u003cbr\u003e\nLenny White – drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRecorded Live on October 16 \u0026amp; 17, 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nat Systems Two, Brooklyn, New York\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProduced by Paul Stache\u003cbr\u003e\nAssociate Producer: Damon Smith\u003cbr\u003e\nRecorded by Max Ross\u003cbr\u003e\nStudio Assistant: Andrew Cavaciuti\u003cbr\u003e\nMixed \u0026amp; Mastered by Christopher Allen\u003cbr\u003e\nPhotography by Jimmy and Dena Katz\u003cbr\u003e\nDesign by Damon Smith and Paul Stache\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCover Artwork: Emily Carr, Scorned as Timber, Beloved of the Sky, 1935, oil on canvas, Collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery, Emily Carr Trust, Photo: Trevor Mills, Vancouver Art Gallery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCarr extract from Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr, Emily Carr, 2006, Douglas and McIntyre.
