Sandra Nkake: Nothing For Granted
Label: Jazz Village Catalog: JV570002 Format: CD Sandra NkakeThe energy is rock, the feeling pop, the spirit jazz and the groove implacable “ this is the magic formula of authentic soul jazz singer Sandra Nkake. With magnificent support from a rhythm section recalling the heyday of Stax and two poetic reedmen, this album, with compositions and lyrics by Sandra and her close partner, flautist-producer Ji Dru, packs a powerful punch. Old instruments, appealing arrangements, a retro-futurist atmosphere studded with echoes of sixties songs and soundtracks of cult films, a spacey production “ everything here conspires to make Nothing For Granted an explosive manifesto where Sandra Nkake's rough-hewn voice rings out like a cry of freedom.
