Leon Frey Chelsea Carmichael is one of the most exciting jazz musicians in the UK and this album is an immense statement of her potential as a composer.

And, as the inaugural release on Native Rebel Records, everyone should be excited about what releases are to come.

Cosmic Chambo After spending 48 hours with this album that stands shoulder to shoulder with Shabaka & Co.'s most transcendent work I would like to join Timmy The Rube in being actually a little mad at all of you for not being all over this already. Favorite track: Bone And Soil.

timmytherube I'm actually a little mad at all of you because there aren't any other reviews here yet. This record should be huge. Carmichael attacks with short sharp phrases, in ways that will be familiar to folks who like Shabaka Hutchings' projects while still her own thing. Rhythms are varied and modern like the Theon Cross record. You dig that sound, then you should be all over this. Why aren't you already? Favorite track: The River Doesn't Like Strangers.

about

The River Doesn’t Like Strangers from start to finish is jazz mastery at its finest. The title track was inspired by the words of Chelsea’s dad on the Rio Grande in Jamaica: the river that goes through the centre of his home village of Grants Level, in the parish of Portland.

The intertwining of skilled players invokes the movement of the Rio Grande throughout. Playful, unpredictable and masterful, it’s simply a sublime record. Album highlights include the pensive and beautifully expansive ‘Bone And Soil’, the mythical ‘Myriad’ and the transcendental ‘All We Know’.
