Trailblazing composer-trombonist Naomi Moon Siegel has announced the Nov. 8 release of her third album Shatter The Glass Sanctuary, a collection of adventurous original works that chronicles her adjustment to small-town living in Missoula, Montana, after residing for many years in Seattle, Washington.

The music follows her inward journey of emotional highs and lows, propelled ever forward by a stellar sextet of acclaimed Seattle musicians including pianist Marina Albero, guitarist Andy Coe, percussionist Christopher Icasiano, trumpeter Ray Larsen, and bassist Kelsey Mines.

Produced by award-winning drummer and mentor Allison Miller, Shatter The Glass Sanctuary is Siegel’s most ambitious and sweeping statement yet, and a showcase of her prowess as a composer, improviser, bandleader, and trombonist.

Marking her third album as a composer and bandleader, she opens this sumptuous new recording opens on a spirited fanfare that resides within The Adventures of Violet & Pilot, and then brings us the perky, sprightly even Sabotage, the luxuriant Seep Into My Pores and the dulcet gossamer of Future Light.

Along next is her five track Shatter The Glass Sanctuary Suite, which itself opens on the petulantly rambunctious Holding All The Broken Pieces, which then gives way seamlessly to the rhythmically all-embracing Breath In (Interlude), the earnestly emboldened II. Tethered, rounding out on the veritably shimmering Breath Out (Interlude) - Shatter The Glass Sanctuary Suite, closing on the joyfully gorgeous III. Shatter It.

“The title ‘Shatter The Glass Sanctuary’ comes from a time when I was struggling to create a musical and personal home in Missoula. Writing this music was a catharsis for me, as I broke down and broke open to allow myself to feel the grief and heartbreak of leaving a city and community I loved, even as I was so curious about living in a smaller community more integrated with nature.”

“This music is about not holding things so preciously on a pedestal. It’s about knocking down cultural walls and emotional silos to make space for a wide spectrum of feelings from depression and isolation to joy. It is about my life in Missoula, letting myself experience this expansive place. It’s about grief, paradox, and unexpected connection.” – NAOMI MOON SIEGEL.
