Paul Dietrich's fifth album as a leader, 'A Small Patch of Earth,' marks a shift from his recent large-ensemble projects (2019's 'Forward,' an 18-piece big band, and 2023's '5+4,' for a nine-piece group) to a more intimate and folk-inspired sound. Emphasizing simplicity, interaction, and improvisation, the album draws inspiration from nature and was recorded in the open space of a concert hall, inviting listeners to pause and take a deep breath.
