Robin Talley Lies WE Tell Ourselves

Jazz trumpet player, composer, arranger and producer Gary Alesbrook is back in the spotlight with the release of his second album “The Stories We Tell Ourselves,” released October 29th, 2019. The album consists of eleven original jazz compositions and features an exciting, diverse range of artists including two time grammy nominated Guitarist and vocalist, Raul Midón.

Why is belief in an afterlife so persistent across times and cultures? And how can it coexist with disbelief in an afterlife? Most modern thinkers hold that afterlife belief serves such important psychological and social purposes as consoling survivors, enforcing morality, dispensing justice, or giving life meaning. Yet the earliest, and some more recent, afterlives strikingly fail to satisfy those needs.

One of the best parts of our job here at AXS is getting to review new albums before their release. There is nothing better than getting your hands on the latest album from a favorite band. Such is the case with the San Antonio-based alternative rockers Nothing More who will be dropping their highly-anticipated full-length album, The Stories We Tell Ourselves, on Sept.15 through Better Noise Records.
