New Release June 2019: The Jamie Saft Quartet presents Hidden Corners
On the transcendent new album Hidden Corners, visionary keyboardist, producer and composer Jamie Saft embarks on a spiritual journey along the searching path unveiled by such iconic forebears as John and Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, and Albert Ayler. Inspired by concepts from Jewish mysticism, the album features an outstanding quartet of deeply exploratory musicians: Saft, longtime collaborator Bradley Jones on bass, the wide-ranging drummer/percussion master Hamid Drake, and legendary saxophonist David Liebman.
The “Positive Way” mentioned in the title of the first piece is one key to the music’s intent, the proper mindset, perhaps, for discovering those Hidden Corners where beauty is created.
“I’m always trying to make a record that I myself would enjoy listening to. When I’m able to make music with masters at this level, positivity and clarity of purpose are both just always right there in each moment. We follow the path of positivity in the music.”
(Jamie Saft)
