Jazz isn't just instruments played wildly. Jazz is something instruments enact upon their player wildly. The swing and blue notes, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation fit exactly this sense of motion. In Quiet Contempt progressively shares the soft bend of a solo sax note to energetic children playing in the park. This is newness, with classic taste. Subtle people takes us back to jazz jazz. Not the girl from ipanema anymore, this sister is woke!
