Staff Picks: Cochemea - All My Relations

For fans of: The continued evolution and endless possibilities of jazz soul and funk.

What they're saying: Pitchfork hears the saxophonist digging into his roots, saying the record “draws inspiration from a search for his ancestral past”. Rolling Stone expounds upon the cosmic and entrancing elements of the record.

What we say: We’ve been blessed with a re-emerged of a cosmic jazz consciousness in the latter half of this decade, and this record is another stellar entry in this continuum. Also the Daptone Records logo has more or less been a guarantee of quality for most of this century.

Further listening: Cochemea has also played with Antibalas and the late great Sharon Jones.
