Sam Yahel - Quiet Flow (2025) [Hi-Res]

«Quiet Flow» marks the return of renowned keyboardist Sam Yahel to the acoustic trio format. For this recording, Yahel joined forces with legendary musicians: drummer Brian Blade and double bassist Larry Grenadier. The album's title accurately conveys its atmosphere—thoughtful, lyrical contemporary jazz where the focus shifts from virtuoso bravado to deep interplay between the musicians.

The tracklist includes both Yahel's original compositions (such as the opener "Koko Kokoro") and jazz standards like "Just One Of Those Things" and "I Wish I Knew." The album's sound is characterized by a warm piano tone and the subtle, "breathing" rhythm typical of Blade's style. The release is issued by the New York-based label La Reserve Records, known for its focus on high-quality modern jazz.
