Amina Figarova: Road to the Sun

Warm pastoral moods are created by pianist and composer Amina Figarova as she melds woodwinds and brass to give sonic sounds akin to Givenchy. Folksy strings by Sara Caswell, Lois Martin and Jody Redhage Ferber lurk and form gentle rice pilafs for Bart Platteu’s flute on “Snow Mess” the lurking “All We Dance” and chirpy title track. Wayne Escoffery creates a modal mood as he asserts his sax on “Circles” and the easy grooving “No Time For” with the leader showing rich chamber moods on the elegiac “Morning Mist.” Rich pastels.
