"At the moment when you most need them, there are people who are gluing you back together all the time. 'Caravan of Angels' is my tribute to them." Hear more in our final Inside the Album video. Download or stream the album at http://smarturl.it/jrb-react-recover How We React and How We Recover, the new album from three time Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown. His first solo recording in over a decade is a politically-charged, far-reaching rumination on love, family and music. How We React and How We Recover – partly a response to our fraught political climate, part portrait of an evolving contemporary artist– is Brown's definitive interpretation of his own compositions, pregnant with emotion, capacious musical energy and symphonic sweep. "I grew up on Billy Joel and Joni Mitchell, but also Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein," reflects Brown. "All those influences sit within the work. This album has a specific emotional palette and musical aesthetic that rests between rock 'n' roll, jazz, folk, gospel and Broadway." Brown also is represented on Ghostlight Records with his debut solo album – Wearing Someone Else's Clothes – in addition to The Last Five Years (2002 Original Off-Broadway cast album, 2013 Revival Off-Broadway cast album, and 2015 Motion Picture Soundtrack), and the Original Broadway Cast Albums of 13 and The Bridges of Madison County.
