Listening to these two classic releases, which are both essential and available on Tidal and Qobuz.
What an amazing lineup, a true super group:
Eric Dolphy - reeds
Booker Little - trumpet
Mal Waldron - piano
Richard Davis - bass
Ed Blackwell - drums
Beautiful voice. Discovered her on some radio station. She is in fact from Israel, Naama, meaning pleasant in Hebrew. The name also exists in Arabic. It seems she is confused with a tunesian singer with the same name.
Naima, named after his wife, is one of John Coletrane’s most beautiful ballads.
