Sultan Stevenson - El Roi [CD]

El Roi is the new album from Sultan Stevenson, one of the most compelling voices emerging on the UK and European jazz scenes. Known for his ability to seamlessly merge narrative and accessibility, Stevenson's music captures listeners both within and outside the jazz community. Drawing deep inspiration from legends like McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Kenny Kirkland, and Geri Allen, Stevenson's compositions are an exploration of faith, identity, and the complexities of the human experience. His signature style, rooted in quartal harmony, vamps, pedal points, and modality, is elevated by his natural storytelling ability. Stevenson's sound is unmistakably inclusive, with a humble approach that prioritises dramatic interplay within his trio over overly complex musical ideas. His music is captivating and approachable, reflecting his relationship with the Lord and his cultural heritage. Stevenson's method of creating compositions, often starting with a central motif and building around contrasting melodic ideas, highlights his deep understanding of contrast and narrative in music, resulting in compositions that resonate with a wide range of listeners. As a performer, Stevenson is quickly becoming a thrilling force in jazz, translating heritage and spirituality into an evolving and relevant sound. With El Roi, he continues the journey he began with his debut album Faithful One, which saw each track serve a unique purpose within a larger conceptual narrative. Stevenson's keen attention to musician selection, including his regular bandmates Jacob Gryn and Joel Waters, alongside collaborations with figures like Denys Baptiste, speaks to his commitment to both personal and professional growth. His music is not only a reflection of his influences but also of his vision for what modern jazz can communicate to the world today. Sultan Stevenson is poised to continue making waves in 2024, as he further solidifies his reputation as one of the brightest young stars in jazz, connecting deeply with audiences across Europe and beyond.
