Description
'Blessings' is a scintillating album from saxophonist Antonio Hart, which evokes an era where jazz was less of an "art form" and more "party music." It's not that Hart leaves artfulness out of the equation - he just remembers to imbue artistic integrity with vibrant fun.
Hart's horn sound has matured, which is not to imply it's mellowed. He still has that blues-rich swagger that's descended from Adderley and Donaldson, yet his tone sounds even bigger, with the heft of a tenor saxophone while maintaining the steely litheness of an alto.
"Blessings describes how I feel about the great music that came before," says Hart. While he is mindful of the jazz tradition, he knows no confines. "Great music also comes from Stax and Motown, Jeff Beck, Queen, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson...I'm trying to bring some light [with my music] into this often crazy world."
Personnel: Antonio Hart (alto and soprano saxophone), Bobby Floyd (organ), Yotam Silberstein (guitar), Steve Williams (drums)
