Coming March 18th, 2022: Tales of Transcendence, the Debut Album
The Jordan Ferrin Storyband is coming to the world.
Tales of Transcendence is a testament to some of my greatest transcendental experiences throughout the world. I have written both music AND stories about each piece of music. The idea of Tales of Transcendence is to know the stories first, through words and photos, so that these stories can complement the music. Then, the music complements and finishes the stories.
The music and the stories were born of the creative impulse within me which was kept roaring by those experiences. And what better music to use than jazz, an incredible dynamo of transcendental, interconnecting potential for musicians and audiences?
For over four years I traveled the entire world, working as a cruise ship musician. In those four years I have known and experienced what most people never will. And it is completely, blissfully absurd that I have known and experienced what most people never will. Though I traveled the world, I still try to believe I did. I was forever changed, and because of this I realized there is no way for me to keep these experiences to myself. How can I? No; my mission is to give these experiences to the rest of the world. Through them I want to generate inspiration, connection, compassion, and happiness for audiences and humanity alike. I must and will always do my best, truly, to express the lifetime I lived. Tales of Transcendence is my first leap in this direction. It is more than an album of music; it is an experience that combines music and travel.
