| 3.5 great | Bedex | December 5th 20 |
It's sweet to have modern production on jazz for once. It starts off as fine jazz club, but you know that (prod aside) could have been recorded 60 years earlier. Sweet drum solo though. The record shows that it's got more flavour from 2 though, which after a questionable transition features faster, modernish drums + kalimba (?). Idk about the mixing on the vocal sample though, sounds like a narrator. Perhaps it's partially my fault for paying less attention that I ought to but the album kind of lost me in its middle. It's all quite good, some cool wind instruments in places (on the cool 4 for example), bass and drums generally on point, but nothing to truly grab my attention. 6 even gets a bit annoying in places. Then 7 and 8 crank things up a whole lot and are imo the peak of the album, with some rather unique instrumentation with a country violin and other things, with some highly dissonant strings evoking Penderecki mixed over jazz, and just a whole lot of spice and interesting ideas all round. Convinced me to maybe check his other things, although the concluding track is kind of generic again. 3.55

| 4.0 excellent | Gene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | November 10th 20 |
Enchanting, shamanistic jazz album that at first you might not be quite able to define or distinguish, but opens its rich layers upon new spins.
