Pleasantly surprised by this jazz/fusion LP, some absolute corker chord changes. My type of groove for now

From: Los Angeles
Genre: Jazz/avant garde/lo-fi/ambient
LP: Music for Saxofone & Bass Guitar (2018)
Interpretation of a 1980 Pharaoh Sanders composition (featuring, appropriately, Idris Muhammad on drums). Both Sams are amazing artists and band leaders on their own, and on this album (plus its two follow-ups thus far) they stretch their chosen instruments to their outer limits. Recorded mostly live, looped mouth sounds and taps on a mic drenched in reverb build the spare backing rhythms. Wilkesās bass generates waves of tonal textures like fog on a city street. Gendelās sax riffs are so alluringāeffortlessly beautiful and endlessly hummable. Your friends who donāt like jazz will still love this. Your friends who do like jazz already know whatās up.

One of my high school friends recommended this album in our group chat a few days ago and I wasn't prepared for how good this is??? And it's a live album??????? A must-listen if you're into jazz fusion!
Anyways listening to this feels like going on a lovely summer morning stroll with some pep in your step and the day is totally open. The sun is shining, sky's blue, a gentle and cool breeze hits just right, and you're feeling goooooooddddddd

But I prefer āBeginningsā. The bass lines and drive just hold more meaning for me and the band still feels hungry for the music but YMMV šāāļø

The beat is infectious, confident lyrics, full of substance (!), inspired by the medley from last weekās Strictly Come Dancing opening number as broadcast in the UK.
