about

A&G finishes with Godfrey’s anthem “We’ll Get There,” an epic piece that placed in ASCAP’s 2021 Herb Alpert Young Composer’s Award. Like much art of the last couple years, this piece reflects the experience of living through the Covid-19 pandemic. However, rather than being a somber affair, “We’ll Get There” celebrates the found communities and bonds forged in times of struggle. Laid on top of a churning drum groove, the band travels between sounds unified and disparate, including solos from trumpeter Matt Kelly and featured alto saxophonist Alex Ramirez. This all culminates in a Mingus influenced free section, in which the horns loosely chant through the instruments while Godfrey solos behind, recreating the cathartic feeling of joining together as a group in the face of adversity.
