Sam Gendel’s Satin Doll is a bold exploration at the intersection of jazz and rock, showcasing the saxophonist’s distinctive ability to reimagine timeless standards. Recorded live over three days with bassist Gabe Noel and electronic percussionist Philippe Melanson, this 2020 release on Nonesuch finds Gendel paying homage to classics by figures like Duke Ellington and Hoagy Carmichael while reshaping their sonic landscapes.
What sets Satin Doll apart is Gendel’s adventurous reinterpretation of familiar tunes, introducing unexpected glitches, pauses, and textures that reveal new dimensions to each piece. The trio’s innovative approach both honors tradition and pushes boundaries, making this album a standout for listeners seeking fresh, modern perspectives on jazz standards.
