Kalia Vandever and Dave Harrington team up for their first collaboration together with the debut album Evergreen. The two met in 2025 while Vandever was supporting Harrington on the road during the DARKSIDE tour in North America. Vandever is an accomplished trombonist and composer whose albums have brought them all over the world, performing at jazz festivals and clubs. Harrington, often known for his revolutionary band DARKSIDE, is one of music's great guitarists who has created a world around his playing blending genres of jazz, electronic, and more. The duo's debut album Evergreen is the confluence o f these elements. A blend of jazz and electronic music that feels all their own.Recorded over a three-day period i n Los Angeles during February 2026, Vandever and Harrington hunkered down in the Sudden Quarterly studios during a pummeling rainstorm. The feeling and atmosphere during the sessions was introspective and emotional, two sentiments that aren't often associated with the usually sunny city of LA. Harrington's guitar is sometimes a wall of sound, reflecting the downpours outside, and at other moments it is gentle and reflective. Feelings o f stillness, nostalgia, and longing are conveyed by the trombone playing of Vandever. At times soaring and triumphant and others breathy and insular, Vandever draws the listener into their world. These two great artists welcome the listener into an entirely new space that has yet t o appear on either o f their respective solo albums. Sometimes the music is dark and electronic with prominent drum machines, samples, and heavy guitars. At other times the songs are intimate and melodic, with brass leading the songs and the guitar tones feeling personal and close. Kalia Vandever and Dave Harrington create a powerful album with Evergreen that is equally heartbreaking and joyous.
