Tommy Crane is a fixture on both the Montreal and New York creative music scenes. He has performed and recorded with Aaron Parks’ Little Big, Wood River, Melissa Aldana, Half Waif, La Force, Richard Reed Parry, Little Animal, Warren Spicer, and Martha Wainwright. His debut solo effort, We’re All Improvisers Now, covers a broad spectrum of sonic territory using a relatively limited number of sound sources. Cascading walls of ambient synthesizers make the tracks seem huge, yet each cut still maintains the feeling of a solo musician exploring their inner self. The album was released on June 24th, 2022, via the London based jazz label, Whirlwind Recordings.
