Ten years have passed since I first came across Fabienne’s debut recording in the trio, titled Glitterwoods, which I further reviewed. That was one of my favourites back in time and I kept my eye on her, but nothing came out after. I later reached the label to hear that she became fully involved in musical education. I kept enjoying the debut recording then and hoping that one day she would make her comeback. Imagine my surprise when I heard from Fab, out of a sudden 10 years later, at the end of the year, through the ever-present social media, that she came back with her second recording, Thrive.

[ 17th September, 2021 release via Free Style Records: Dan Berkson – Dialogues ]
release date: 17.09.2021 via Free Style Records
“Unity was originally written for a Rhodes led Quintet I put together for my Dialogues jazz night in East London at the Lion and Lamb,” says Dan Berkson. “I’d say it’s equally inspired by my love of hypnotic house and techno as it is by some of the more psychedelic late 60’s and 70’s records by people like Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, and Cannonball Adderley.
