‘Diaspora’ is the second in Christian Scott’s Centennial Trilogy series marking 100 years of jazz and the breezy opener ‘Diaspora’ is a gorgeous number that has Scott’s wonderful, breathy trumpet taking centre stage. ‘Our Lady Of New Orleans’ is a pacey, light and dark shaded effort that slowly unfurls while ‘No Love’ is a gentle burner that picks up its groove thanks to the sparse drum beat that works well with the cavernous tone of Scott’s brass. The finale ‘The Walk’ is a delightful vocal cut that features Sarah Elizabeth Charles – think Robert Glasper’s ‘Black Radio Conversations’ and you’re someway there. Another excellent, challenging and engaging set.
