What is Wistful Thinking & The Long Middle?

The Long Middle is the debut album from stalwart NYC trombonist and composer Sam Blakeslee and his dynamic ensemble Wistful Thinking. Featuring an introspective journey of pastoral melodies and beautifully crafted compositions, this genre-defying release comes to life in an intimate chamber-jazz setting akin to the various small bands of Kenny Wheeler and Bob Brookmeyer. "The Long Middle" represents a pivotal period for the New York-based trombonist, one that is marked by pervading feelings of isolation and distance, both in the geographic and social sense that have been felt so universally this year.

Grammy nominated trombonist and composer Alan Ferber praised Blakeslee and The Long Middle. He shared: "In a year fraught with anxiety and isolation, there are some musicians who have found powerful opportunities for musical and spiritual growth. As evidenced by his stunning new release, Sam Blakeslee is clearly one of them. This new body of work reflects a trombonist who thinks and plays like a composer, patiently waiting for each new idea to be heard before delivering and developing. As I listened to this album, I remembered something that Bob Brookmeyer used to say, "The line is everything." I can promise that if you follow the line that permeates Sam's new album, you will be richly rewarded with a story both unique and beautiful, and most importantly, honest."
