Our Take

Lori Henriques Quintet's latest offering, "Legion Of Peace: Songs Inspired By Laureates," is a delightful and uplifting tribute to the unsung heroes of our world. Featuring the prodigious talents of jazz sensation Joey Alexander, this album is a must-listen for anyone in need of a soul-soothing musical experience.

From the moment the first notes of "Aung San Suu Kyi" fill the air, you know you're in for something special. Henriques' melodic compositions, combined with Alexander's impeccable piano skills, create a harmonious blend that is nothing short of magical. Each track on the album pays homage to a different Nobel Peace Prize laureate, weaving a narrative of hope and resilience that is both poignant and powerful.

The standout track, "Malala Yousafzai," is a heart-wrenching anthem that showcases the quintet's ability to convey complex emotions through music. Henriques' ethereal vocals, coupled with Alexander's virtuosic piano solos, create a stirring tribute to the young activist who captured the world's attention with her bravery and determination.

Overall, "Legion Of Peace" is a masterpiece of contemporary jazz that transcends genres and speaks to the universal human experience. Henriques and her quintet have crafted an album that is as thought-provoking as it is musically satisfying, making it a must-have for any discerning listener. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let the soothing sounds of Lori Henriques Quintet wash over you in a wave of pure bliss.
