This Must Be The Place

𝕋𝕨𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕕𝕤𝕠𝕦𝕝 What a sumptuous release from Naima. The elusive artist exquisitely builds nine compositions around a saxophone and synthesiser with a light sprinkling of a guitar. On This Must Be The Place, you'll hear textured, atmospheric landscapes created through rich production, immersive instrumentation and meticulous attention to detail. Favorite track: Velvet Gentlemen.

TheSlowMusicMovement I was stuck for a blog tip today but luckily a trawl through my Bandcamp feed led me to this cerebral & soothing ambient jazz fusion LP from Naima. Details about the perpetrator are sparse, but the music is rich in sonic detailing, cosmic, calming in nature & blessed by Naima's less is more approach to jazz & his rare empathetic gift of how it best synergizes with ambient electronica. Big thanks to Jonathon More & his tireless digging (even after decades in the game) for the tip!

francesday Calming and yet full of surprises Favorite track: Civet Dance.
