Harpist and bandleader Brandee Younger backstrokes in a sea of full and rich sound on the album Soul Awakening – a work of art that weaves together Younger‘s influences from the alchemic motifs of modal jazz and the soaring openness of spiritual jazz. Throughout the selection, Younger and her quartet (under the direction of producer Dezron Douglas), move as a smoldering energy surge and glow sublimely as each player contributes their uniquely colorful waveform to each song’s steadying centre. My personal favorites from the album include the hot popping “Linda Lee“ which pairs EJ Strickland‘s kinetic drums with the more swirling sounds of Brandee‘s concert harp; a dazzlingly colorful album opener called “Soulris” (which features Ravi Coltrane on tenor sax); a serenely flowing dose of soul called “Save The Children” (which features angelic notes from a singer named Niia); and some Eastern steeped smoke and magic called “Blue Nile” (which features tenor saxophonist Antoine Roney).
