Joel Goodman’s Debut Album ‘An Exquisite Moment’ is Out Now

Joel Goodman’s much-awaited debut album An Exquisite Moment is now available for purchase and streaming.

An Exquisite Moment is a deeply personal work by the Emmy-winning composer, who along with some of the best jazz musicians today, such as: Randy Brecker on trumpet/flugelhorn, Brandee Younger on harp, Lisa Fischer on vocals, John Patitucci on acoustic bass, Philippe Saisse on keyboards and mallets, Donny McCaslin on saxophones, Adam Rogers on electric guitar, Eric Harland on drums, Mino Cinelu on percussion, and Scott Colley on acoustic bass, embarked on an improvisational adventure in making the record. 

“There were no rehearsals. I wanted to capture the first moments of discovery. I asked each musician to be open to taking risks and being spontaneous together. Nothing was off-limits. Everyone brought grace and generosity to the music,” Joel said. 

The album was recorded at the Power Station in New York and engineered by Elliot Scheiner, mixed by Joe Mardin, and produced by Joel Goodman and Joe Mardin.
