Changing musical gears and moving from recent ambient experiments back into the instrumental rock/groove/jam aisle, it’s the highly anticipated follow-up to the Up All Night CD.

Soulful and funky, Joe’s fifth album is a new collection of original music recorded in 2016 mastered by Grammy award winner Reuben Cohen of Lurssen Mastering in Burbank, CA for exceptional sound quality.

Joe Olnick‘s music combines classic elements into new explorations of sound and rhythm. His albums are instrumental and improvisational, with an emphasis on jazz/rock/groove and ambient atmospheres. Seemingly random patterns are arranged into unique modern statements that communicate the soul in his art.

In this interview, we chat with Joe about his latest release, influences, navigating the digital music world and more.
