Three Visitors Releases New Single, “You Are”
Three Visitors’ “You Are" meditates on human potential and self-discovery. The track opens with Simon's piano, setting a reflective tone that hints at life's mysteries. A melodic piano and strings ostinato symbolize our internal dialogue, while Brian Blade’s dynamic drumming drives the trio’s improvisational journey. As the tension builds, Chris Potter’s tenor saxophone solo reaches an intense peak, only to give way to a moment of silence. From this quiet, the initial motif returns, evolving into a new soundscape, with Jana Dagdagan's voice reflecting on our ideal self. The track closes with the reminder that "You Are" is already what you seek.
