Moments Worth Listening For
The Hammond B3 organ swell on Flipside that shifts the album from gentle jazz into a driving, urgent groove.
The haunting, sparse piano opening of Burn that sets a darker, more cinematic tone than her previous work.
The delicate interplay between the saxophone and Norah's hushed vocals on the cover of Horace Silver's Peace.
