An Album Review by Michael Valentine | 88 Jazz Place – Afternoon Drive

 

Brandon Sanders’ latest release, “The Tables Will Turn,” is a vibrant journey through the heart and soul of jazz. Anchored by Sanders’ dynamic drumming, this album pushes the boundaries of rhythm and melody, captivating listeners with every beat. Featuring an all-star ensemble, Sanders paints a sonic landscape that is as rich as it is resonant.

The album’s emotional depth is amplified by David Wong’s steady bass lines and the mesmerizing vocals of guest artist Christie Dashiell. Her voice, smooth yet powerful, weaves through each track, adding layers of complexity and warmth. The chemistry between these artists is palpable, drawing listeners into an immersive experience that feels both intimate and expansive.
