Our Take

Album Review: PATRICK CORNELIUS Acadia: Way Of The Cairns (White & Black Vinyl)

Upon first glance, one might mistakenly assume that saxophonist Patrick Cornelius' latest album, Acadia: Way Of The Cairns, is just another jazz record. But oh, how wrong they would be. This album is a sonic journey through the mystical landscapes of Acadia National Park, with each track serving as a musical postcard from the rugged Maine wilderness.

From the moment the needle drops on the white and black vinyl, listeners are transported to a world where melodies float like autumn leaves and harmonies dance like fireflies at dusk. Cornelius' masterful saxophone playing takes centre stage, weaving a tapestry of sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and irresistibly groovy.

Tracks like "Cairn Carvings" and "Ocean Pathway" showcase Cornelius' ability to seamlessly blend traditional jazz elements with modern sensibilities, creating a sound that is as timeless as it is fresh. And let's not forget about the stellar backing band, whose tight rhythm section and dynamic improvisations add a layer of depth to the album that is truly unparalleled.

In the end, Acadia: Way Of The Cairns is more than just a jazz record - it's a musical expedition that will leave you breathless and itching for more. So grab your hiking boots, pack your bags, and get ready for a journey like no other. Patrick Cornelius has crafted a masterpiece that is sure to stand the test of time. Cheers to that, mate!
