"Burning Boats" is a song about decisions... When Hernan Cortes began his conquest of Mexico and the Aztec Empire, he instructed his men to "burn the boats" and destroy the vessels that brought them to Veracruz. Through this act, they forced themselves to confront their mission without an "out"; no means by which they could escape. They either accomplish their goal or die. "Burning Boats" signifies trumpeter Ryan Montano's decision to eliminate his "outs" and fully dedicate himself to his music and the trumpet. Featuring one of the most celebrated and iconic artists in contemporary jazz, Euge Groove contributes a masterful performance, helping to create a fresh and distinct sound. Written and produced by Montano, "Burning Boats" is a musical journey, symbolic of the trumpeter's decision to commit to his art, fully and without reservation. This is "Burning Boats"...
