Roam by The Beth Custer Ensemble
Roam is a collection of songs and instrumentals I composed for myself and for a collaboration with writer Octavio Solis for musicals JUNE IN A BOX and THE BALLAD OF PANCHO & LUCY produced by Campo Santo Theatre under Gerbode and Zellerbach awards in San Francisco.
The Beth Custer Ensemble: Chris Grady, tpt., Jan Jackson, drums, Lisa Mezzacappa, bass, Graham Connah, piano, Beth Custer, voice, clarinets.
Produced, recorded live, and mixed by Jeff Cressman at Red House Speak Easy. Photo: Federico Cusigch.
BC Records tenth release and The Beth Custer Ensemble’s third release having released also My Grandmother DVD and Respect as a Religion CD.
Roam is more introspective and focused than earlier efforts and shows off the great lyrical writing of Octavio Solis as well as Custer’s own pen.
