about

Held Together, written by Brian Plautz, was written in an attempt to
capture the feeling of building a community of like minded friends and chosen family. The intro features a contrapuntal horn melody complemented by simultaneous drum improvisations by C- bass Chiriboga and Josh Bailey. This intro, a crowd of musicians interweaving amongst each other simmers into a lone bass solo by Adam Neely. As the song progresses, more and more instruments are introduced. Seth Weaver plays a soulful trombone solo which lands into a quiet moment, building into the celebratory ending, featuring a cacophony of horn exclamations.
