Nigerian saxophonist Camilla George has developed her style in The Jazz Jamaica All-Stars. Her debut album ‘Isang’ (an old Efik/Ibibio word for Journeys) is impressive and includes the great Modal/Soul-Jazz ‘Mami Wata’ that culminates with a good drum solo from Femi Koleoso plus the calypso tinged ‘Lunacity’ and title track. ‘Ms Baja’ is a lovely lilting cut that features Zara McFarlane scatting with great melodic instrumentation from the Quartet. ‘The night has a Thousand Eyes’ is a dreamy track that really takes you on a journey to your own paradise. Lovely album.
