Nostalgia, the latest album by Derrick Meyer, is a beautiful blend of contemporary and classic jazz that seamlessly transports listeners back in time. The album features a mix of original compositions and classic jazz standards, all of which are performed with precision and grace.
Meyer's mastery of the saxophone is evident throughout the album, as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies and soulful solos into each track. His bandmates - including pianist Mark Johnson, bassist James Smith, and drummer Tony Lewis - provide a solid foundation for Meyer's saxophone to soar.
One standout track on the album is "Stella by Starlight," a classic jazz standard that Meyer and his bandmates infuse with new life. Meyer's saxophone takes center stage, with Johnson's piano providing a beautiful accompaniment.
Another highlight of the album is the track "Nostalgia," an original composition by Meyer that perfectly captures the wistful, bittersweet feeling of looking back on the past. Meyer's saxophone is emotive and haunting, while the rest of the band provides a gentle, understated backdrop.
