This is one of the 2 or 3 albums of 2023 for me. The skill of the compositions is matched by the fine musicianship all around.
Kate blends ideas from contemporary classical music with improvisation with great skill.

Really this album is a masterclass in Hard-Bop, Post-Bop, Spiritual jazz, and soul jazz all wrapped up in a impressively cohesive package.
It pays tribute to those that came before while still keeping an eye to the future/past. ATrott
