A new horizon for black jazz, filled with spiritual emotion.Pianist Gene Russell's work expresses the ideals of Black Jazz through sound. Spiritual jazz blends with a soulful sensibility, and the quietness is imbued with a strong will and liberating energy. A single quiet piano note fills the space, and the bass and drums gently respond. A heat lurks within the subdued tempo, capturing the heart with a sense of introspection and liberation intertwined. The rhythm is as soft as human breathing, and the melody unfolds calmly while carving out deep emotion. The recording has a vivid atmosphere, as if capturing the exact moment of performance. Unconstrained by form, the album consistently displays a commitment to carving out new paths with its own sound, and it still shines today as the starting point of the spirit that Black Jazz embodied. |
