About Boomtown
Michael Barera
“Boomtown” is Miles Okazaki’s album-centered project, heard here in an NYC album-release set at The Jazz Gallery. The title points to places that expand overnight—built on extraction, infrastructure, or proximity—and the music treats that speed as both opportunity and disturbance. Okazaki, known for precise guitar writing and compositional rigor, foregrounds new material with the band in a program shaped like a report from the field. It reads as a study of growth that leaves traces, not a celebration of it.
