The Superhighway Band - Studio City (LP)

In March 2020, both Nichol Thomson and Shawn Lee found themselves at home without a live gig in site. Lee called up Thomson and said: “Now is the perfect time to make our smooth jazz trombone album”! Nichol laughed but Shawn... well, didn’t! The pandemic was prime time to get smooth and jazzy! 

The two had already been working together the past few years on Shawn Lee and Andy Platts’ Young Gun Silver Fox project. Nichol Thomson’s horn arrangements have become an important element of their sound so a collaboration between the two musicians was both natural and organic. Taking a lyrical reference from the Steely Dan song “Home At Last”, The Superhighway Band was born.
