The notion that a new recording began with a surprise hug might sound like the premise of a rom-com pitch deck or a Modern Love headline, but in the case of the Nate Yingling Trio’s Welcome To Lunaryth, it’s all true.
The recording, to be released Friday and celebrated by a show at the BOP STOP, is a milestone in the collaboration between keyboard whiz Yingling and engineer (and BOP STOP Swiss Army knife) Darren Thompson that began with that hug.

For anyone looking to map the frontiers of what is possible on the trumpet, BOP STOP was the place to be last June*. There, with the Dan Weiss Quartet, Peter Evans laid out all the landmarks: Olympic-level feats of circular breathing, splatters of 16th notes (or were they 32nds?) in a register beyond the Kuiper Belt, even playing rhythms by placing the microphone in the bell of his instrument and blowing unpitched thuds.
It was eye-popping, yet it was all in a day’s work for Evans, who returns to the Hingetown club Thursday for a solo set in the final presentation of the 2025 season of concerts presented by New Ghosts.
