Oz Noy, Ray Marchica and Ugonna Okegwo’s new album, Riverside, was released on January 21, 2022 via Outside in Music. Their first release as a trio, this is a fresh, life-affirming collection of standards that stems from the group’s spontaneous outdoor jams held in New York City’s Riverside Park during the Covid-19 lockdown.

It’s a conversation with all three about what brought them together and how their collaboration saved them mentally and musically.
