About

Called a “singularly original unit gleefully trapezing between sound and swing”,
Hearts & Minds combines brash fluidity, raw lyricism, and emphatic grooves.

Hearts & Minds is a collective conceived by long-time collaborators Jason Stein (bass clarinet) and Paul Giallorenzo (synthesizer/e piano), joined by drummer Chad Taylor.

After years of shows throughout the US and Europe with original drummer Frank Rosaly, Hearts and Minds released their debut recording in 2016 on the Austin-based label Astral Spirits.

Following Rosaly’s relocation to Amsterdam shortly thereafter, Stein and Giallorenzo began working with ex-Chicagoan drummer Chad Taylor and since then, have played multiple shows and tours throughout the US and released their second album for Astral Spirits, Electroradiance, on Oct 5 2018.  

After a global hiatus, Hearts & Minds is excited to announce their next album on Astral Spirits Illuminescence releasing in January 24th 2025 and are embarking on a European tour in October 2024.
