For her, the innate sense of connection between bandmates and between the dual states of form and freedom is a crucial aspect of her creativity.
Following her German Jazz Prize winning 2024 debut album Good Intentions, Hellmuth now returns with the aptly titled Tether, an eight-track exploration of jazz, punk and freeform improvisation that centers on the notion that regardless of how loud and unruly her band might get, the tether always ties the players back to the listener and their invigorating experience.
For the LP release week, Alden releases “Definitely Not Friends” — a fiery salvo that demonstrates the fierce chops showcased by Alden, Thundercat drummer Justin Brown, and other players on the album.
