Michael Golub's Album, Relations And Revelations, and the Golub Brothers Album, Concessions



Here is a Spotify link to Michael Golub's new album, Relations And Revelations.

In these six new songs, Michael's writing, vocals, arranging, and his playing multiple instruments accompanied by the powerful percussion work of Joe DeGregory reminds me of Dream Theatre, and some early Genesis.

Other solo work by Michael, with links below, include the singles, Closure, and Love Found Me.

Michael also plays horns with his older brother Andrew, who mentored in Manhattan under Joe Lovano. They form the eponymous duo, the Golub Brothers, and listening to them I can't help but draw parallels to Randy and Michael Brecker. 


The Golub Brothers are a two-person horn section based in New York City.  They play a multitude of instruments: trumpet, flugelhorn, saxophone, clarinet, piano, and flute.  

And on some recorded cuts they feature guest vocalists such as Ron, seen below.

In this episode, they bring in a big arrangement set for multiple wind instruments, and talk about how they sequence each instrument to inform the feel of the arrangement.
