Courtney Pine - Psalm

Review by Serrurier 95

Psalm, the latest album by Courtney Pine, is a remarkable blend of jazz and gospel music. The album features a diverse range of tracks, each showcasing Pine's virtuosity on the saxophone and his ability to blend different genres seamlessly.

The album opens with the uplifting and energetic "Freedom Song," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Pine's saxophone playing is at its best here, and the gospel choir backing him up adds an extra layer of depth and emotion to the track.

Other standout tracks on the album include "I've Known Rivers," a soulful and introspective piece that showcases Pine's ability to convey complex emotions through his playing, and "Song of the Maroons," a lively and upbeat track that features Pine's saxophone alongside traditional African percussion instruments.
