For his third Mack Avenue Records release, 5-time GRAMMY Award winner Billy Childs assembles an all-star quartet with trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Brian Blade. On The Winds of Change, the critically acclaimed pianist/composer offers 5 brand new original compositions alongside exhilarating arrangements of Chick Corea’s Crystal Silence and Kenny Barron’s The Black Angel to push the creative boundaries of the group and inspire a collective new sound to pay homage to jazz legends and the artistry. The album was released March 13, 2023 and is available. Childs is set for a tour to promote his album. Performing in Los Angeles and Chicago, check out the rest of his tour schedule here.
