Bra Sello, The Selection -

Review by Darvin Hooey

Bra Sello's latest album, The Selection, is a masterpiece of South African jazz. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers of classics, showcasing the artist's versatility and skill.

The opening track, "The Journey," sets the tone for the album with its smooth saxophone melody and intricate percussion. The album then takes the listener on a musical journey through different moods and styles, from the upbeat "Afro Blue" to the melancholic "Ntate Modise."

Bra Sello's saxophone playing is exceptional throughout the album, and he is backed by a talented group of musicians who provide a solid foundation for his improvisations. The arrangements are intricate and well-crafted, with each instrument given space to shine.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Song for My Father," a tribute to Bra Sello's late father. The piece is deeply emotional and showcases the artist's ability to convey complex emotions through music.

Summary by Darvin Hooey

The Selection is a must-listen for fans of South African jazz and anyone who appreciates masterful musicianship. Bra Sello has created a timeless album that will be enjoyed for years to come.
