Body and Soul

A high-fidelity fusion of jazz-club cool and 80s pop precision. Recorded in a massive hall, it captures the physical air and sharp echoes of a live room.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive horn entrance on track 4 that cuts through the tension like a physical force.
The haunting, echoing piano intro of Be My Number Two that feels like it's being played in an empty cathedral.
The way Loisaida builds from a lonely saxophone melody into a sweeping, cinematic urban soundscape.
