Alto-saxophonist Jared Sims leads his six-piece combo through the half dozen cuts here on a set full of drive and energy. The rapid fire ‘Offerings’ finds keys and sax vying battling with the urgent drums, ‘Forces’ is sharply angular with a bluesy B-line giving the track a swagger while ‘Prophesy’ is a more improvised effort with each player given the freedom to sketch their lines at will. The slow, languid ‘Spirit’ is a ponderous number that has an East-African feel, the keys dripping in as the sax searches for a motif while ‘Gifts’ struts through with a funky groove underpinned by those crashing drums. Good set.
