O’s Notes: Sathima has been singing more than 60 years, since she was 9 years old! Her act is well polished and she has never missed a beat, even as she enters her seventies. Benjamin has a natural rhythm, good tone and strong dynamics that make her voice among the most musical on the scene. Kenny Baron (p), Onaje Allan Gumbs (p), Buster Williams (b) and Ben Riley (d) among the plentiful cast of musicians supporting her and they are a winning team. Sit back and enjoy all twelve tracks including our favorite, “Indian Summer”.
