Two Day Old Tony Molina
I know as we focus on the immediacy of coverage, it may seem silly that I didn’t cover Tony Molina news when it first hit the other day. Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed, but as a huge fan of Tony’s work, I really wanted to sit with the tracks and just soak in their charms. Each of the tunes hanging below offers a little bit of a glimpse at Molina’s work over the years, perhaps with a nod towards future works; I keep thinking that “Violets of Dawn” sounds older and wiser while “FC ’23” feels very much steeped in his last few LPs, all of it obviously good. Then he brings on some Gary Olson trumpet for “Faded Holiday” and you know you’re in the right place. All of these tracks feature on a new 21 song long-player titled On This Day coming out November 14th via Slumberland Records/Olde Fade/Speakeasy Studios SF.
