Melissa Aldana is today one of the most respected tenor saxophonists in jazz. On Echoes of the Inner Prophet (Blue Note, 2024), she deepens her expression: introspective, rhythmically inquisitive, and melodically precise.
The music moves between tradition and experimentation, drawing influence from both Wayne Shorter and Latin American improvisation. Guitarist and arranger Lage Lund once again plays a key creative role, and Aldana’s quintet ranks among the most responsive on the current scene.
Jazz that dares to be both analytical and emotional.
