Today, we announce the forthcoming release of Trappings of Sleep, a new album by Qasim Naqvi, Grey McMurray, and Caroline Davis, arriving October 30 on Red Hook Records.

This equal-billing trio recording grew out of a 2025 performance at Saint Peter’s Church’s long-running Jazz Vespers series, where the three musicians played beside Billy Strayhorn’s piano and worked through Alice Coltrane’s Journey to Satchidananda. The reverberant space shaped the trio’s approach, opening up new musical possibilities. After Naqvi shared a recording of the performance with producer Sun Chung, the demo led to an invitation to develop the collaboration into a studio album, with each member contributing original compositions.

Listen to “Mono Lake,” the first single from the album.

Trappings of Sleep is now available for pre-order here on 180g translucent LP, CD, and digital formats.

Today marks the official release of Shards, the eagerly anticipated recording by pianist Jason Moran, electronic musician BlankFor. ms, and drummer Marcus Gilmore. The album’s conceptual framework centers on fragmentation and reconstruction. As the liner notes observe, “the piano and drums fold into each other and themselves, looping back and forth between sound, data, past, future—information moving at the lightning speed of musicians’ minds.” Each musical gesture by these musicians leaves a mark in three virtual dimensions, shaping an infinite number of images as the record plays.

Following the critical reception of Refract, which The New York Times praised for its work “across medium and style, with composed elements and prepared loops,” Shards represents a maturation of the group’s collaborative language. The spectrum of ideas is broad. Meditative passages give way to exploratory abstraction, and angular rhythms coexist with lyrical melody.

Throughout, the production quality maintains Red Hook Records’ meticulous attention to sonic detail, presenting the trio’s intricate interplay with remarkable clarity and presence.

Shards is now available on 180g translucent LP / CD / Digital formats. Link in bio 🔗

A heartfelt thank you to all involved in making this album:

A beautiful night in the city of Reims, at the legendary hi-fi wine venue Atôme, kicking off the celebrations for Red Hook Records‘ 5th year anniversary. Our recordings were paired with the tastiest of grower Champagnes, generously provided by some of the deepest and forward-thinking winemakers of the region, throughout an evening that ended in the early hours of the morning.

Thank you to all the guests and all the amazing winemakers who attended. It was heartwarming to be among such a vibrant community of keen listeners. Much gratitude to Eric and Aline for organizing this incredible event 🙏
