Our Take

OGJB Quartet's latest offering, "Bamako," is a musical journey through the vibrant streets of Mali with a quartet consisting of living legends Oliver Lake, Graham Haynes, Joe Fonda, and Barry Altschul. From the first notes of the opening track, "Bamako Love," it's clear that this album is something special.

The fusion of jazz and traditional Malian music creates a unique sound that is both mesmerizing and invigorating. Lake's saxophone soars over Fonda's groovy bass lines, while Haynes' trumpet adds a touch of whimsy. Altschul's percussive contributions tie it all together, creating a rich tapestry of sound.

Tracks like "Sahel" and "Malian Dance" showcase the quartet's improvisational skills, with each member given ample room to shine. The chemistry between these four musicians is undeniable, as they seamlessly weave in and out of complex rhythms and melodies.

But it's not all serious business - the album also has its fair share of moments that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head. "Bamako Boogie" is a playful romp that is sure to get even the most stoic listener up and dancing.

Overall, "Bamako" is a triumph for the OGJB Quartet. With its infectious energy and impeccable musicianship, this album is sure to delight jazz fans and music lovers alike. Don't miss out on this musical gem from some of the industry's finest talents.
