Featuring the venerable bassist Buster Williams, as well as lauded pianist Brandon McCune and in-demand drummer Jay Sawyer, this triumphal studio effort — Solivan’s sixth in all — further repositions her to a rightfully high perch in contemporary jazz.
“My first time performing with Buster was in the summer of 2019 and it made quite an impact on me,” Solivan says. “I was in awe of his sound and his way of weaving through harmony, it challenged me and led me into areas of the music that I was not familiar with. I knew then that I needed to work with him again and learn as much as I could from the master.”
Described as a “strong, sensuous alto” by The New York Times and “well on her way to being a national treasure” by the Midwest Record, Solivan is widely known for her dynamic range, expressive delivery and astonishing improvisatory acumen.
