The Westerlies Songbook, Vol. 3. finds the quartet celebrating friends and collaborators including Fleet Foxes, Adrianne Lenker, Samora Pinderhughes, Anaïs Mitchell and more, inspired by an intimate live recording made at their own Seattle festival.
The Westerlies are the Ensemble-in-Residence at the School of Jazz and Contemporary Music at The New School

The ensemble, Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands on trumpet, and Andy Clausen and Addison Maye-Saxon on trombone, has released eight critically-acclaimed studio albums over more than a decade of composing, collaborating and performing together, refining an aesthetic that is "folk-like and composerly, lovely and intellectually rigorous” (NPR Music). Their specific style and virtuosic skill has also made them in-demand collaborators — part of the impetus for this collection of recorded tributes — playing in studio and live alongside artists from Common to Dave Douglas, and on GRAMMY-nominated releases from both Fleet Foxes and Aoife O'Donovan.
Together, these nine arrangements showcase not just an ensemble at the peak of their musical powers, but one that is deeply committed to connection and community onstage and off of it. The Westerlies are perpetually reaching outward without regard for arbitrary genre or other divides, putting the songs and the sounds first as evidenced by the instantly evocative music on Songbook, Vol. 3.
