A Time for Healing
Composer(s): James JordanThe Same Stream; Roger Ames

On January 6, 2022, my friend Roger Ames passed after a battle with ALS. Throughout his illness, I dare say that work on this recording, selecting music and discussing scores, seemed to energize him every time we spoke. For musicians, I know our work gives our life purpose, but this recording seemed to give him a somewhat needed distraction. For me, this recording was one of the honors of my life. We all treated this music as sacred cargo. Roger heard a few tracks of the recording before he passed and wrote in a text the day before he passed that he “will listen from the other side.”For many years, I wanted to record an album of his music. In my mind, it was several projects ahead on our timetable. When Rog shared his diagnosis, I immediately said we would move the timeline for project to the summer of 2021. Rog selected all the music, much of which you will hear for the first time on this recording, which spans his entire career. The Same Stream met on hot days of an August summer in 2021 and recorded the music. Again, I am happy to say that Rog heard a few of the tracks before he passed.— James Jordan
