"HOMEWORK" captures the raw beauty of Senri Oe's creative life in NYC. A profound reflection of life turned into melody.

HOMEWORK is an ambitious and deeply personal collection from acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Senri Oe, presenting sixteen original compositions inspired by his daily creative life in New York City. While the title reflects the discipline of his constant writing process, the album's true focus is the remarkable chemistry of Oe's jazz trio. Most of the music was recorded at Brooklyn's renowned Bunker Studio with drummer Ross Pederson and bassist Matt Clohesy, where the trio transforms Oe's compositions into vibrant, energetic performances filled with sophisticated interplay and modern jazz expression.

Balancing the studio sessions are several intimate 'digital performances' recorded in Oe's New York apartment, offering listeners a glimpse into his private creative world. These contrasting settings create a unique sonic journey that moves seamlessly between polished ensemble performances and reflective solo explorations while maintaining a cohesive artistic vision throughout.

Recorded at The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn by engineers Aaron Nevezie and Jasper Leach, with experimental mixing by Nevezie and mastering by Alex DeTurk, HOMEWORK embraces both acoustic warmth and sonic experimentation. The result is a richly layered modern jazz recording that captures an artist continually pushing the boundaries of composition, performance, and production.
