Our Take

RAN BLAKE's latest offering, "Something To Live For," is a delightful journey through the mind of a musical maestro. This album is a perfect blend of haunting melodies, intricate harmonies, and unexpected twists and turns that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about jazz.

From the moment you hit play, you are transported to a world where the piano reigns supreme and the boundaries of genre are blurred. RAN BLAKE's masterful playing is a sight (or rather, sound) to behold, effortlessly weaving together elements of bebop, avant-garde, and even a touch of classical music.

But what truly sets "Something To Live For" apart is its ability to evoke a range of emotions in the listener. One minute you're tapping your foot to a lively rhythm, the next you're lost in a sea of melancholy notes that tug at your heartstrings. It's a rollercoaster of feelings that only a true musical genius like RAN BLAKE could pull off.

So, if you're looking for an album that will challenge your preconceptions of what jazz is supposed to sound like, look no further than "Something To Live For." RAN BLAKE has once again proven why he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of music. Take a chance on this album, and I promise you won't be disappointed.
