[EERecordist]

Brandee Younger Trio. New discovery. The harp is a rare lead instrument. Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane come to mind in jazz. Carlos Salzedo is another harpist to look up and is associated with the avant garde in France. He started the harp department at the Curtis Institute, the world's premier school of classical music.
The drummer and bass players are excellent as well.

She has many videos, a Tiny Desk Concert, and produced music videos.

I typically love your recommendations but the "Enchantment" track sounds like it needs to go back to the practice room. Everything feels rushed and feels like the drums are barely keeping up. A good rhythm accompaniment will sound laid back even with up tempo tunes. The piano improvisation sounds like it's trying to pull off Coltrane licks at high speed but it feels a bit on the sloppy side.

Even on the next tune "I'll Call You Later". The mix just doesn't feel right. Nice Tenor player though. Maybe I'm spoiled by so many polished recordings out there. When you hear tracks that could be a Jr. College band you notice the difference. When it sounds hard... it's probably not ready for prime time.

I don't recommend anything, I just listen widely. No, this isn't going in my favorites bucket, either.

Found this and three other good albums on a recent driving trip for $1 each...perfect condition. Got home OK despite the record heat wave!
