Third Coast Percussion - Standard Stoppages (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Grammy Award-winning Third Coast Percussion (TCP), praised by NPR for championing “borderless music” and “blurring musical boundaries,” celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025 with Standard Stoppages, an album that explores how time can be stretched, manipulated, played with, and reimagined.

Reflecting on two decades—or a “score”—of music-making, the anniversary gives TCP the space to reflect on their many milestones, collaborations, and steps along the journey that have shaped their work over the years, inspiring the group to commission new works for the occasion.

This diverse set of commissions makes for a colorful sonic palette of percussive ensemble works, ranging from Zakir Hussain’s Hindustani classical tradition to Zimbabwean composer and performer Musekiwa Chingodza’s Shona song to Jessie Montgomery’s interweaving of Western classical music with elements of vernacular music, improvisation, and social consciousness.

This project includes new works by both cherished past colleagues, Jlin and Musekiwa Chingodza, and first-time collaborators Zakir Hussain, Jessie Montgomery, and Tigran Hamasyan.
