(CD/LP+7"/Download) Porter Records PRCD-4048/PRLP-015, 2010-07-20

Nick Rosen describes his first full-length offering, Into the Sky, as being, "a musical celebration of the interconnectedness of all people and places. The songs are by themselves their own universe," he says, "but at the same time they are all connected to the idea of togetherness, and to forming one beautiful, magical entity." On the recording Rosen plays guitar, Rhodes piano, upright and electric bass, and synths throughout and sings on 3 tracks. He's joined by producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist Miguel Atwood-Ferguson on piano, violin, viola and upright bass. The two worked on the beautiful arrangements featured flying a top Rosen's original compositions.
