Contexts is a stunning album by Thomas Buckner that showcases his unique vocal style and ability to blend different genres seamlessly. The album features a mix of experimental jazz, contemporary classical, and avant-garde music, all of which are expertly crafted by Buckner and his collaborators.

The album opens with "In the Wee Small Hours," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Buckner's vocals are emotive and powerful, and the instrumentation is rich and complex.
