Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the delicate piano opening to the soaring, explicit soprano entry on track 1.
The relentless, driving saxophone ostinato that anchors the seven-minute climax of track 7.
The sudden, breathless silence between vocal phrases in track 5 that highlights the dry, intimate recording.
