The jazz and pop styles have long existed in separate worlds, with separate performers, separate audiences, and little crossover in between. New Nostalgia set out to change that with this 2019 release, their debut studio album. It features intricately-arranged instrumental version of classic 1980s pop tunes from Peter Gabriel, Cyndi Lauper, Tears for Fears, and more.

Utilizing the verses, choruses and hooks of pop and rock, the advanced harmonic and rhythmic structures and improvisations of jazz, and a little something extra, New Nostalgia’s journey began with this award winning release, and has continued through the years.
