Urban Music Scene's coverage traces back to the moment Sean Mason first announced A Breath of Fresh Air, sharing the news alongside lead single "Rediscovery" and the album's complete eight-track listing: "Rediscovery," "Secrets," "Duende," "Boneback," "Open Your Heart," "Unfinished Business," "Capital J," and "Kiss Me." The piece describes the record, Mason's second full-length as a leader, as a breathtaking panorama encompassing more than a century of musical innovation.
The announcement situates the album against Mason's rising profile, noting his acclaimed 2023 debut The Southern Suite and his Grammy-nominated 2024 duo record with Catherine Russell, My Ideal, before detailing the reunion of The Southern Suite's cast for this new project: trumpeter Tony Glausi, tenor saxophonist Chris Lewis, bassist Felix Moseholm, and drummer Domo Branch.
'Rediscovery" is the overture, the very genesis of the album's narrative. It's not about finding something new, but rather an intentional extraction of what was always there, residing within." - Sean Mason
