40 composers from the NYC music community and around the globe, seeking a way to deeply speak about the times, collaborated to write and record an album called “The People of 2020” over a 14-day period (a ‘quarantine length’). Each musician had a 24-hour window to write and record their own part and pass it to the next musician. The album’s songs and moods are based on the ‘social curve’ of 2020, entitled “The Climb,” “Flattening,” and “Slide Out.”

The album was created by world-class players, having worked with with artists such Stevie Wonder, Sting, The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, The Roots, Ed Sheeran, Beyonce, and others. The music is powerful and intensively eclectic, ranging from jazz-orchestral, to worldly-rock, to 2020-funk-hop, with instrumentation spanning from string sections, to steel pan, to synthesizers.
Upon its release, 80% of the album revenues raised will be equally split to directly support the musicians and engineers of the record, and 10% of revenues will go towards the Grammy's MusicCares relief fund to aid the greater musician community.
