Saxophonist Ben Wendel boasts a robust yet soulful style that speaks to contemporary jazz avoiding predictable settings. After obtaining universal acclaim with the unforgettable The Seasons (Motema, 2018), Wendel reinforces his credentials as a deft composer and killer soloist with a new outing, High Heart, his fifth as a leader and first on the Edition Records. The canny arrangements inflicted to the eight original compositions on the record show his sense of sound exploration and a refined taste in the instrumental choices. This work is a personal reflection about the purpose and meaning of an artist in today’s overloaded music-making.
