Description
Fifth album by Edinburgh based saxophonist Sam Coombes, featuring Paris-based musicians: Nico Morelli on piano with bassist Yoni Zelnik and drummer Julien Charlet.
"Time Of Life is urgent and driven, Coombes's saxophone insistent in its melodic lines and harmonic explorations, notably in his impetus on the Coltrane-like North Of The North. Morelli is likewise driven and inventive while gently lyrical on Maylis, Zelnik and Charlet a fine and busy rhythm section. Forbearance showcases the band's quieter side as Coombes's soprano insinuates easily above them, while Light Of Day reveals the leader's ability to tell a good melodic story over a gentle funky beat. The wistful title track provides an eloquent closer. Overall, this is a strong and committed set, and well worth seeking out." - Jazz Journal
