B’s Bees: Kanata

The team of Julien Sandiford/g, Joe Feracuti/p, Alec Safy/b, Brandon Goodwin/dr and guest Masashi Usui/ts team up for some modern post bop originals. The focus of the album is Goodwin’s  four part “Kanata Suite” which includes kinetic and African styled drums, on “Kanata,” soft sax and a focus on Safy’s rich bass on ”Syrian Lullabye” and some gracious strums along with military sticks on “Pipeline Blues.” The team bounces well with Usui’s tenor on “Nothing Yet” while they bop with joy on “Atomic Future” before closing out with a lyrical “For or Against.” Rich concepts.
