ktomas1 This release does have a similar organic flow to Ake's previous group outing "Hunanities", with an intuitive sense of expression by everyone involved. Well recommended for the unique take on Jerome Kern alone.

about

Pianist David Ake tends to his musical garden with a "Green Thumb" of unstoppable melodic sensibility on his seventh release for Posi-Tone Records. Along with the capable accompaniment of saxophonist Tony Malaby, bassist Boris Kozlov and drummer Rudy Royston, Ake continues growing steadily in the direction of his 2018 release "Humanities" by making bold statements of purpose with his stunning musicianship and an exciting program of original compositions. Whether one is already familiar with the music of David Ake or discovering his natural talent for the first time, "Green Thumb" will surely take root in the hearts and minds of jazz fans and blossom forth into bright moments for listeners everywhere.
