From AllAboutJazz.com: "Troy Roberts is a two-time Grammy nominee who is becoming one of the most broadly recorded saxophonists of his time. As a leader, Roberts has 14 albums in his discography, including this 2022 recording, NU-JIVE: Nations United, which features long-time friends who formed this band in 2009. The band's fourth release focuses on the sounds representing the ... 'universality' of music—a reflection of the fact that the members came from all corners of the globe and bonded through the language of music.... Roberts is adept at playing and composing in many styles, and his approach is imbued with combustion and dexterity. The ensemble work together to create an expressive and brilliant ambiance... His compositions speak to his creativity and, in the hands of his band of compadres, NU-JIVE, the music is permeated with plenty of modernity and groove-based delectable treats."
The band plays in the studio for the album's official video (of course, they picked a long tune), and then Troy plays a nice Stanley Turrentine tune, with some other folks, in the 2nd video. YouTube and Spotify links to the new album follow. Please enjoy another really nice, new, saxophone jazz album.
