O’s Notes: The Abode“is bassist Jake Leckie’s debut recording, a tribute to the people and places that have shaped his career to date. He leads a core quartet with Sebastian Ammann (p), Kenny Warren (t) and Nathan Elfman-Bell (d). Leckie also incorporates strings throughout the set to bring a degree of elegance that is rare but appreciated on a modern jazz recording. Alexis Morrast adds vocals on “After the Flood” to balance the instrumentals. “Mutuality”, “Negev” and “Metis” are highlights that suggest Leckie’s next release will be happily anticipated!
