Album lore

Azamiah’s 2023 release In Phases, issued by Rebecca’s Records, offers a set of twelve pieces that meld jazz with harp and trombone, underpinned by vocal elements. The album’s arrangements unfold with a measured intimacy, favoring subtle interplay over overt display. Tracks such as “Conversations” and “Celesta” reveal a penchant for nuanced dynamics and textural shifts, where the harp’s resonance threads through the brass and voice with deliberate grace.The record’s titles—“Monologue I,” “Monologue II,” and “Rituals”—suggest a conceptual framing, though the music remains grounded in the immediacy of the ensemble’s dialogue. In Phases occupies a quiet corner of the jazz continuum, rewarding patient listening with its restrained yet intricate gestures. Its modest following, approaching 40,000 listeners on Last.fm, marks it as a discreet artifact within contemporary jazz’s diverse canon.
