“Carlin has started something I believe will influence a lot of people in the future. To have my piece Uptilt on this album, reimagined, is something I am eternally grateful for”

Katahj Copley

"What Carlin has been able to do with my music has been nothing less than extraordinary. He’s found a way to transform these works into such creative and innovative sounds that are truly captivating"

Kevin Day

"Carlin's new album was a revelation to me upon first listen. Hearing contemporary wind band works skillfully arranged by Carlin for his combo was mind blowing. This album is a must-listen for all band nerds"

Jeff W. Ball

With the Changes album cover

The Wind Symphony Project's debut album, With the Changes, is an exploration in contemporary repertoire for the wind symphony through the context of small group jazz performances. Inspired by listening to the heavily jazz influenced works of Kevin Day, Katahj Copley, and Omar Thomas, I thought to myself: this is just a big band with oboes and french horn! With this realization, I arranged their pieces for another type of jazz ensemble. One that is able to thoroughly represent their works while leaving abundant space for extended and exciting improvised moments — the quintet.

Released on Adhyaropa Records
