Roots Reimagined by Jazz Legends | R&B Music News
Description
Grammy-winning bassist Linda May Han Oh and Grammy-nominated saxophonist Melissa Aldana just dropped their stunning new duo album Beneath Lifted Skies—a bold, soulful homage to jazz legends like Mingus, Coltrane, and Parker. While rooted in timeless standards, their interpretations feel expansive and deeply personal, blending reverence for the past with their own fearless artistry. The album also features three free improvisations and Oh’s haunting solo take on “God Bless the Child,” a poignant statement against global child suffering. This collaboration bridges continents and generations, proving that tradition can be reborn as something vibrantly new.
