Patrick Naylor: Patrick Naylor/ Days Of Blue

Read "Patrick Naylor/ Days Of Blue" reviewed by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton

Days of Blue from Patrick Naylor spends time in all the pantone blue hues, the first five tracks bringing the brighter half of the spectrum, the second half diving the deeper tones.

The first session from 10 June 2013 opens with “1000 And One" on an ostinato bass figure and relaxed McCoy Tyner-esque piano.

Hildegard: Hildegard

Read "Hildegard" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

If audio releases were ships following one another and I was standing on the deck of Sasha Masakowski's debut recording, Wishes (Hypersoul, 2011), I don't think I could have seen as far away as needed to spy her follow-up Hildegard.
