Ha! I remember looking at that when it was pre-release and have forgotten about it until your post. Thnkas

I'm on this, you know it?  Same London scene really

yep, posted it a few pages back actually - and I think you commented as she works in a local shop sometimes...? I dug that album. Totally new artist for me.

Yes, I remember that now. New to me too. Either i hadn't been paying attention (most likely) or she came out of nowhere

Per discogs no credits before 2020 but she was probably out there somewhere. She remixed a Nubia Garcia track this year too. Good scene going there right now

The new Nubya Garcia remix album is very good.  Great scene at the moment, most vibrant I can remember it. Just too difficult to keep up! And, i wish i was 30 years younger to really enjoy it...

I'm still slightly unsold on Garcia. She seems to be a step back from other musicians on the scene at the moment.

A really good solo bass album: 

[Teasing the Korean]

Miklos Rozsa - Spellbound 

This is the WB stereo recording, conducted by Ray Heindorf, with Samuel Hoffman on Theremin

I really dig The Source. I wouldn't call her the greatest living sax player or anything but I find her creative and expressive in an enjoyable way. However, there isn't much that separates that style of record from "smooth jazz" which I think some would find negative. The production isn't as slick, there's no constant ambient keyboard in the background, and the melodies aren't as repetitive, but it's heavy groove playing within a type of soundscape.

I'd happily have more groove, or more rhythm. I quite like the keyboards (a mate saw Armon-Jones recently in a different setting and was raving about him). It just seems like it is a bit middle of the road. I'm happy she is getting exposure though. People obviously like her music.

Two cd set of well-chosen material from this period. Not great sounding source recordings but great music. This DALAUDIO amp is really sounding interesting.
