While everything here was written and produced by Kirby, Septet was indeed cut by a group of seven, featuring Deantoni Parks (drums), David Leach (percussion), John Paul Maramba (bass), Nick Mancini (mallets), and Tracy Wannomae and Logan Hone (both on woodwinds).
Kirby says, “Blowout is about enjoying yourself even though life is tough, before the candle blows out.”. Firstly, he’s prolific. Since signing to Stones Throw in 2022, he has released six albums. What’s even more impressive is the consistency of quality.
