Yazz Ahmed - La Saboteuse (Naim Jazz, May 12, 2017)

I wasn't familiar with Yazz Ahmed. A British musician (trumpeter) originally from Bahrain, she has collaborated with pop artists from the UK like the giants Radiohead (the album features a particularly unique cover of "Bloom") and These New Puritans. With "Le Saboteuse" (Naim Jazz), she collects in a double LP four releases that came out between 2013 and 2016 in a limited edition that constitutes a masterful work in the jazz fusion genre of these years. Since it consists of four different recordings, the number of musicians involved is variable, but musically the collection is still coherent. The sound of "Le Saboteuse" is a jazz structurally built on the strength of the winds, whose role is clearly central and capable of literally enchanting the listener, transporting them to distant places with Middle Eastern charm, featuring acid jazz sessions and intoxicating arrangements of bass and percussion that adapt to the atmospheres, moments of minimalism infused with the use of digital instrumentation (never overdone), especially lounge dimensions. But fortunately, we are not talking about elevator music. The album also hints at other traditions, such as those of the peoples from Eastern Europe or West Africa, but this is probably not coincidental considering that certain "shades" are as old as humanity itself. The only limitation is that there are 13 tracks, some of which are quite substantial, but the reality is that they originally came from 4 different releases, which is a bit of a typical limitation of compilations, yet its value remains unique and very high. A must-have. P.S. For Radiohead fans, who are always many: the album also includes a distinctive cover of "Bloom." I also feel the need to mention that she is truly very beautiful.

3-4/5

#YESTERDAY °°°° Souled American - Around the Horn (Full Album)
This is a CD that cost two euros, believe me, it’s beautiful.
American tradition in a half-dream, landscapes seen through a slightly open door, slowly closing and revealing melancholic scenery, views not new but covered by a dreamlike veil. Sunsets never felt so close. I have no news, but this group with their magical yawn has enchanted me. Highly recommended.
