Album Notes & Community Reviews
Scaling back the massive big-band orchestrations of her earlier work, the prolific composer and pianist opts for a tight, deeply grooving sextet format. 'Sextet' leans into slick, highly polished jazz fusion with subtle soul-jazz undercurrents, anchored by Hiram Bullock's fluid guitar work. The album elegantly highlights her idiosyncratic compositional flair within a notably accessible, contemporary framework.
