Bassist and composer Noah Young has released his new album, Noah, produced by Grammy Award-winner Jamison Ross. Across eleven tracks, Noah showcases Young’s modern Instrumental Jazz. Young “approaches the bass as both a rhythmic anchor and a storyteller.”

Young shares about the album:

I wanted this record to be felt more than analyzed. To live in that space between reflection and motion.

The album opens with “The Dream,” a prelude conceived accidentally in the studio when engineer Mack Major reversed the tracks of “Early Morning” and invited Martin Masakowski to bow along on upright bass. The result “set the tone for the record’s reflective interiority.”

“Babycat’s Melody” finds “beauty in accident,” born from a moment when a cat named Babycat jumped onto the piano and struck three notes that became the seed of a tune.

Ross’s Production on the album emphasizes “dry drums, warm low-end detail, and an almost tactile sense of space. “

Young says:

Jamison’s production on Mykal Kilgore’s A Man Born Black made me want him for this record. He brings a drummer’s sense of time to the production process. It’s precise, but still breathes.

This record is me learning to leave space. It’s less about showing what I can do on the instrument and more about creating an environment that feels alive—where the listener can slow down, breathe, and  see themselves in the sound.
