About the Album
Into Thin Air is an album of peace and, at times, even sensuality. It’s not loud, it is not overpowering. But, made by saxophonist Brad Linde in collaboration with an estimable cast of improvisers — Wendy Eisenberg on electric guitar and voice, Luke Stewart on bass, Allison Miller on drums and percussion, and Erika Dohi on piano, prepared piano, Rhodes, Wurlitzer and more — it’s an enjoyable journey down a newly paved musical road that seems to have no bumps or cracks, offering listeners an opportunity to ease their breath and tune in.
