Our Take

In the kaleidoscopic world of avant-garde jazz, Sam Gendel is a unicorn with a saxophone. His latest opus, "Satin Dollin," is a sonic journey through a psychedelic wonderland filled with mind-bending melodies and genre-defying harmonies.

From the moment the album kicks off with the hypnotic groove of "Diamonds (jazz)" to the ethereal beauty of "Love Theme" and the frenetic energy of "Asleep in a River," Gendel takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and sonic textures.

Gendel's saxophone playing is virtuosic, effortlessly weaving in and out of complex rhythms and harmonies with a sense of playfulness and spontaneity that is truly infectious. His bandmates, including drummer Philippe Melanson and bassist Gabe Noel, provide a solid foundation for Gendel's flights of fancy, creating a sense of unity and cohesion that is rare in modern jazz.

The production on "Satin Dollin" is top-notch, with each instrument shining brightly in the mix and the overall sound feeling lush and full-bodied. The album's mix of traditional jazz elements and avant-garde experimentation is a testament to Gendel's unique vision and his ability to push the boundaries of the genre.

In conclusion, "Satin Dollin" is a must-listen for anyone with an adventurous ear and a love for the unexpected. With its mix of technical prowess, inventive compositions, and sheer joy of playing, Sam Gendel's latest offering is a triumph of modern jazz music.
