Lasting Impression Music CD

Brandon Sanders returns to Savant Records, and his new recording is something to get excited about. After turning critics' heads with two previous recordings, Brandon is stepping it up with his new project that's all energy and heart. Part of the buzz comes from the stellar lineup. Joining the session is pianist Eric Scott Reed, certainly a name that carries serious weight in jazz today. Reed is one of those rare players who can make any ensemble shine, and his chemistry with Brandon is remarkable, to say the least. Also on hand is Jazzmeia Horn, the Grammy-nominated vocalist with the voice that's been compared to Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan. Joining forces with Sanders once again, she's featured on two tracks, and her singular style-which combines the timeless with the futuristic-brings a whole other dimension to the music. With music by the Gershwins, Mal Waldron, Eric Scott Reed and the leader himself, this is more than just another album-it's the sound of Brandon Sanders coming into full focus. The entire album is rooted in tradition, shaped by experience, and voiced with a clarity that marks him as an important presence on the US jazz scene.
