about

Saxophonist & Composer Sharel Cassity presents her fifth album as a leader, "Fearless." An album about listening to one's inner voice and having the courage to follow it, the title "Fearless" doesn't deny the existence of fear but instead focuses on the strength to follow a path despite it. With two originals composed for her bandleaders, bandmates, and mentors Roy Hargrove and Claudio Roditi, each track on "Fearless" tells a story while also contributing to a larger narrative. "Road to Dukhan" was inspired by Sharel's time living abroad in Qatar, where her son was born, and all four band members have spent time performing.

"If you dare to surrender to it, the courage and calm that exists inside of you will take you to places unimagined and lead you to where you need to be...Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and becoming your full self."

This album captivated me quickly. The listener can hear the high energy of New York through their instrumentation and I love It! One example of this I throughly enjoy is their implementation of accelerando (speeding up the tempo) throughout songs. If you enjoy contemporary jazz this album is worth your attention. Wes Wood
