Jamie Saft, known for his genre-defying versatility, teams up with bass virtuoso Steve Swallow and drummer Bobby Previte for the captivating jazz album "You Don't Know the Life." Released on January 25, 2019, under RareNoiseRecords, this 41-minute journey through free jazz and traditional jazz showcases Saft's knack for reinvention and his playful spirit, which occasionally dips into moments of melancholy and introspection.
The album features nine original compositions and a cover of the classic "Moonlight in Vermont," offering a blend of improvisational freedom and structured melodies. Tracks like "Water from Breath" and "The Break of the Flat Land" highlight the trio's dynamic interplay, while "Ode to a Green Frisbee" and "Alfie" bring a touch of whimsy and nostalgia. Recorded in January 2018, the album captures the raw energy and chemistry of Saft, Swallow, and Previte, making it a standout addition to any jazz enthusiast's collection.
