Ain't Got Long

November 13, 2020

Ain't Got Long is Art of Time Ensemble's 6th studio album. Featuring 10 tracks, it plays out like a Greatest Hits, with all songs arranged by longtime Art of Time Ensemble collaborator Jonathan Goldsmith. The songs on this album come from Jonathan's work on our "Songbook" series, in which popular songs were matched with skilled arrangers and adventurous singers from the world of jazz and pop. Ain't Got Long, the titular track on the album, is an original composition by Goldsmith for ensemble based on ground-breaking historic field recordings from the American South by the late Alan Lomax.
