Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating for the first time without founding violinist Carla Kihlstedt, the acoustic ensemble Tin Hat expanded their chamber-jazz horizons on 'The Sad Machinery of Spring'. The deeply evocative, folklore-inspired album pays conceptual tribute to the eccentric Polish-American writer Bruno Schulz.
