ABOUT THE ALBUM

Up-and-coming saxophonist/composer Tim Shaghoian’s debut album Gentle Beacons is a message of hope and wonder delivered by a pensive soul. Of Gentle Beacons Shaghoian states, “This record speaks to the beauty of human connection and grapples with the emotional fallout from loss. Writing the music for the album helped me to better understand and embrace the relationships and events that have impacted me the most. The resulting songs became gentle beacons guiding me forward as a musician and human being.”

Gentle Beacons features 9 of Shaghoian’s original compositions and a creative reimagining of the beloved jazz standard My Foolish Heart. The music on the record dances with subtle shifts of emotion while song-like melodies are framed in unexpected rhythmic and harmonic structures. Gentle Beacons features Shaghoian’s California-based quintet with guitarist Chris Janzen, pianist Kevin Person Jr., bassist Richard Giddens, and drummer Antonio Montañez joining Shaghoian on saxophone. The record was produced in part by modern jazz luminary Peter Epstein, a longtime mentor of Shaghoian's.
