Sean Mason joined Indra Raj on KGNU ahead of his October shows in Denver, first with MAS Presents at the Savoy and then alongside vocalist Catherine Russell, speaking about his path from Charlotte, North Carolina, and the philosophy behind his music.
Mason described his role at the piano within a band in vivid terms: the instrument sitting between the rhythm section and the frontline, requiring a pianist to hold both camps together while asserting a distinct musical identity, work he calls comping, which he considers the real source of a band's energy.
Asked what was next, Mason pointed directly to the album, describing himself as fully in "album release, album rollout mode," with two singles already out and A Breath of Fresh Air arriving October 24.
"I love releasing albums. Albums, I feel like they're my children. I don't have any children yet. But for right now, albums take that place." - Sean Mason
