Jamie Safir - Momentism (2026) [Hi-Res]

British jazz pianist and composer Jamie Safir, known for his work with Laufey, Kylie Minogue, and Ian Shaw, presents his debut album Momentism, released via Chill Tone Records. Recorded in a quartet format featuring bassist Conor Chaplin, drummer Luke Tomlinson, and tenor saxophonist Iain Ballamy, the album explores the philosophical concepts of presence, impulse, and decision-making within the moment.

Musically, the record blends elegant contemporary jazz, subtle Latin rhythms, dynamic post-bop, and introspective chamber jazz.
