Sugar on my Blackbeans
The quality of the playing and writing on this album really is exceptional, and this, allied to the energy and vibrancy of the performances raises the album above the level of the mundane.
A classy piece of work that demonstrates Goldsby’s gifts as both a player and a writer. The playing from the members of one of the top contemporary jazz orchestras in Europe is exceptional throughout.
Another excellent album that combines Saber’s jazz and rock influences. As a writer he likes to embrace light and shade and his pieces are also rich in terms of colour and texture and narrative feel.
Drawing on a wide range of inspirations the songs are intelligent, poetic and literate and often downright beautiful.
It may have been recorded more than a decade ago but it’s great to have this music out there and available. It still sounds fresh and exciting and just bristles with energy and invention.
