What a surprisingly versatile and strong band bass player Ruben Samama brought together here for his debut album. There is really a lot to be discovered and enjoyed in this dynamic recording.
There is really a lot to be discovered and enjoyed in this dynamic album of Ruben Samama: the inescapable structures of the arrangements, the exciting and frenetic movement of ‘Ji’, the touching way a classic like Gordon Jenkins’ ‘Goodbye’ is handled, the inspired and to-the-point soloing, this is a band with a sound of its own.
