– Ron Schepper, Textura

About Busy Body:

Outside in Music is thrilled to announce the October 28, 2022 release of Busy Body, the sophomore album from steadfast New York-based composer and trombonist Sam Blakeslee and his synergetic ensemble Wistful Thinking. Following his 2021 debut The Long Middle, Blakeslee’s intimate, pastoral first statement conceptualized and released mid-pandemic, Busy Body builds beyond the bandleader’s chamber-jazz setting and finds asylum in a realm between fusion and electronica. Soaring through compositions wrought by electronic manipulations and ambient sonic landscapes, Busy Body takes on an entirely fresh framework for this exploratory band, yet Blakeslee’s profound ability to resonate thoughts through sound remains eminent on this far-reaching statement.
