Came across this by chance. Very nice interplay between vocal and guitar work.
Listened to a fantastic set by these guys at SFJAZZ yesterday, now listening to the album. Back to the late 60s-early 70s in the best funky way.
Been traveling for almost one month, just catching up and getting some new jazz Here are three (relatively) recent releases not mentioned earlier here that I recommend:
Flaga: The Book of Angels, volume 27: Craig Taborn (piano), Christian McBride (bass), Tyshawn Sorey (drums), great energy, drive, drags you along like wild horses. Taborn and Sorey have been on fire for the last several years.
Verisimilitude: Tyshawn Sorey. Demands close listening, not your dinner jazz for sure, closer to avantgarde classical for sure, austere, brilliant.
Passin' Thru: Charles Lloyd New Quartet. Quintessential lyrical, meandering, earthy now, flying then Lloyd, with standout sidemen Jason Moran (piano), Reuben Rogers (bass), and Eric Harland (drums).
