    A deep spiritual jazz session that rides on Franklin’s warm, elastic bass lines. The band blends modal improvisation with funky undercurrents, letting flute, sax, and keyboards stretch out over hypnotic grooves. It feels exploratory but grounded, like the musicians are discovering the path together as they move forward. The result is soulful, searching jazz that rewards close listening. 🎷
