For Immediate Release
WILL SELLENRAAD RETURNS WITH THE CONTINUATION TO GREENE STREET VOL. 1
GREENE STREET VOL. 2 IS COMING IN THE FALL AND THE FIRST SINGLE “MY LOVE AND I“ IS OUT NOW THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT.
Stockton, NJ – Greene Street Vol. 2 brings together guitarist Will Sellenraad, bassist Elam Friedlander, and drummer Eric McPherson for a recording rooted in trust, spontaneity, and tradition. Recorded at GB’s Juke Joint in New York City on August 15, 2025, the album captures three musicians meeting with a shared commitment to honest interaction and creative discovery.
As a continuation of Greene Street vol.1, this recording reflects an ongoing exploration of the musical relationships, influences, and experiences that have shaped their work in and around New York City’s creative music community. Rather than functioning as a showcase for any single musician, Greene Street Vol. 2 presents a genuinely collaborative trio sound, where each voice contributes equally to the direction and character of the music.
The album was recorded in a single afternoon with only a handful of takes devoted to each composition. There was little interest in chasing the perfect production, more so the focus was on as much MoJo as possible. Capturing performances with energy, personality, and the moment itself. The result is a recording that preserves the immediacy of musicians listening and responding to one another in real time. As Sellenraad states, “This record is the result of us playing a lot over the years. We had the opportunity to get in the studio and really wanted to get as analog as possible with this recording. We hope you can feel it”
The repertoire balances original compositions with material drawn from the jazz tradition. Sellenraad’s compositions “Double Down,” “Bean’s Blues,” and “Icebreaker” sit comfortably alongside interpretations of David Raskin’s “My Love and I,” Frank Foster’s “Raunchy Rita,” John Coltrane’s “Satellite,” and Jerome Kern’s classic “Yesterdays.” Each selection serves as a starting point for exploration, allowing the trio to move fluidly between structure and improvisation while maintaining a strong sense of melody and swing.

The album opens with a lyrical interpretation of the beautiful “My Love and I,” featuring Sellenraad on nylon-string guitar before returning to electric guitar for the remainder of the recording. Throughout the session, Friedlander’s deep, resonant bass sound and McPherson’s masterful drumming provide a constantly shifting foundation, creating space for conversation rather than accompaniment.
Greene Street Vol. 2 documents a moment. It is the sound of three musicians bringing their individual histories, influences, and instincts into the room and allowing the music to unfold naturally. The album embraces the qualities that have always defined great jazz recordings: communication, risk, lyricism, and the excitement of discovery.
