Another album that eluded me on it's Friday release (29 Oct 2021) that
was highlighted by both Roger Williams ("Strawberry Lady") and Paul Regan ("Sunrise"), each again tipping different tracks, is "Grace" from Judi Jackson.
She states on her facebook page that this is her debut album, but she did
release a "Live In London" album in 2018 and another "Blame It On My
Youth" in 2017, one was live and perhaps the other was a limited
self-release?
Judi is originally from Roanoke, Virginia, but now spreads her time
between London and New York. She was involved in the writing of all tracks
with additional co-writers.
In addition to the two tips above I also enjoyed "Crashing Down" and the 'semi-cover/sampling" of Grover Washington Jr / Bill Withers
"The Two Of Us" which features none other than Wolverhampton's Benny Atlas.
The title track "Grace" is reminiscent of Lady Blackbird which you'll probably appreciate if
you like the sounds Lady Blackbird makes.
If the fifteen tracks on the album aren't sufficient for you I've also
included a 48 minute live performance at The London Jazz Festival from
2020.
