Very impressed by it. One of the best jazz vocal records I have heard in a while. This is my first listen though. 

In terms of how it is, it at the further end of bop vocals, verging on free. Most songs have lyrics added. There is strong integration of the group. Full of personality whilst clearly being a descendent of the likes of Betty Carter. 

Thnx for the in-depth feedback .... sounds very interesting ....

Top 5 album of the year for me (yes, I like an EoY list). 

Evidently he recently broke his arm which isn't great

Devin Daniels Quintet – LesGo!

I have been listening to end of year lists over the last few days. This was one that I expected not to like, but I'm really quite impressed by it. Very much modern straight ahead jazz. It has a pinch of Ayler and Ornette in the mix (the marching band trumpet, really) although it is own thing, and certainly not free jazz. But crucially, it is not boring! Which is more than can be said for most jazz on end of year lists over the past twenty years.

Ahmed - Giant Beauty

On the first track so far. Not much to say other than that it is very good. I like [Ahmed] a lot. The first CD is very fierce stuff and good to hear Seymour Wright hit this hard without it just sounding like a blowfest.
