Jay Schellen (Circa:) - drums

Description/Reviews:

Kaye’s wife, singer-songwriter Daniela Torchia opens the album with a haunting “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” before “NYC Blues” and “285 Fulton Street” take us to the streets of the city itself, with Kaye’s bluesy piano and organ reflecting the ordinariness of life before the attacks. The intensity rises with a beautiful, affecting piano and keyboard piece called “Let’s Roll,” that leads us to “Tug of War” and “Flight 11” – the latter featuring current Yes touring member Jay Schellen on drums, in an intense piece that suggests elements of the “Gates of Delirium” and the “Ritual” drum solo.

The vocal center of the album, “Sweetest Dreams,” sung by Torchia is a tribute to the first responders on the day. “Heroes”, “The Battle”, and “Hope & Happiness” illustrate the subsequent activity to bring closure to such a tragic event and Kaye’s compositional and performance skills bring themes and melodies that closely align to the narrative before the reflective “Ground Zero”’s choral tones bring the piece to a close.

Description/Reviews:

First, the Yes influence is obvious and omnipresent across the recording. According to PR info, this was intentional...Second, this is definitely melodic progressive rock. The arrangements are largely complex and dense, offering intrigue tempered by solid song melody, groove, and vocal harmony.
