End of the Night
was conceived based around a simple, yet extremely emotionally resonant concept. Late one evening the musician and myself were listening to records at home. After many hours it got to the point where everything became completely still, the silence permeating the walls, reverberating. We agreed to listen to one more record, but what would it be? What music could answer that existential quandary of the perfect last record of the night at home? Several years passed before the execution of the concept could take place but
Chris Brokaw
was collecting notes in the back of his mind the entire time. I suggested collaborators like
Greg Kelley
(on
Chet Baker
style trumpet, knowing Brokaw's strong affinity for that player) and
Samara Lubelski
(whom he played with briefly in
Thurston Moore
and the
New Wave Bandits
). Bringing in guests such as
Lori Goldston
,
David Michael Curry
,
Luther Gray
,
Jonah Sacks
, and
Timo Shanko
, each track has its own unique combination of small group formations (duos, trios, quartets) very much like jazz, both in instrumentation and mood, if not style or standards. While Brokaw himself is a brilliantly narrative guitarist, known for taking collaborative projects he's involved with to new heights, rarely has he opened his solo work to the same collaborative spaces as with his group projects. The result is a multi-hued, jazz-tinged instrumental record with a melancholy resolve and a deep blue/purple filter. Very much a product of his song writing and playing,
End of the Night
's guests allow the guitarist to show his interplay and prowess in a variety of settings rooted around a common theme. The album art was done by Hollywood legend
Sandy Dvore
(
Buffalo Springfield
,
The Cake
,
Partridge Family
), who composed the drawing after hearing the album in full, directly inspired by the music, adding a visual element similar to the stylistic innovations of
David Stone Martin
.
