The Farther We Fall (RADIO / CLUB EDIT)

Luke Cissell (SĬ-suhl) has been called “one of the most adventurous, eclectic, and delightful modern composers—so original, he’s unclassifiable” (Steve Silberman, bestselling author of NeuroTribes), and recognized for his “incredible” (Goffin & King Foundation) and “superb” (SoulandJazz.com) musicianship, his “remarkable recording… accessible and compelling music” (Mark Pinto, WRTI Classical and Jazz), and “very creative work that deserves to be heard” (Ted Gioia, acclaimed jazz critic and music historian). His sound has been described as “haunting and authentic… impossible to categorize but very easy to love,” (Chris Ingalls, PopMatters) with NewMusicUSA’s Frank J. Oteri writing, “I can’t wait to hear more.” A member of the Recording Academy and ASCAP, Cissell is a New York City Artist Corps Grant recipient and a returning 2022-2023 Teaching Artist for the Very Young Composers program with the New York Philharmonic. Serenade is available on all major streaming platforms worldwide on June 16, 2023.
