Soul Awakening

Mikey. The addition of a harp to Jazz had never occurred to me, and in this instance gives a very experimental feel to Brandee's music. Jazz, much like my favourite genre of music, Metal, has absolutely no boundaries, and Soul Awakening is proof of just that. An utter joy to listen too! Favorite track: Soulris ft. Ravi Coltrane.

Ming Harp players are rare and this one is a gem 💎. Amazing and inspiring compositions. Favorite track: Blue Nile ft. Antoine Roney.

Rob O. Very spiritual and emotionally moving album along the same lines as John and Alice Coltrane. There's even an Alice Coltrane song included with this project. To top it off you have Ravi performing on 2 of the tracks. Excellent lineup of musicians and compelling compositions makes for a very enjoyable listening experience!

charleschapple This album opened up my world. I had not known music like this was possible, and then to learn it comes from a rich tradition that I could immerse myself in! Also, the production on this album is spotless. Each instrument is perfectly mixed, which is key for music so texture rich.

about

Surfacing six years after its completion in 2013, this eight track collection was recorded in 2012 under the direction of producer and bassist Dezron Douglas, and embodies the ambition, vigor and aesthetic ideals of The Brandee Younger Quartet, at and since its inception. A benchmark recording that captures the group’s collective brilliance in its infancy, Soul Awakening is a synthesis of the people, places and moments that impacted Younger most, ahead of the album’s creation. The very first album recorded by the ensemble, Soul Awakening marks the birth of Brandee Younger’s artistic signature and the reemergence of the harp as a pillar of modern popular music.
