  May 31, 202633 minS8

  In this episode of LINER NOTES we are diving into a monumental new release from saxophonist and composer Jeff Lederer called There's A Yearnin' , out on Little "i" Music . This record is a boundary-blurring project for winds and voice that features the Wildebeest Wind Quintet and vocalist Mary LaRose . Together, they tackle unissued and rare archival scores by Eric Dolphy and Ornette Coleman , alongside several of Jeff's brilliant arrangements of the music of Oliver Nelson . In our conversation today, Jeff speaks about the incredible discovery of these scores—including a completely unperformed woodwind sextet manuscript by Eric Dolphy that was kept hidden away in the Library of Congress . It is a fascinating look into how these masterworks were pulled from the archives and brought to life.
