Strange Heavens by Linda May Han Oh
This album is a raw, unfiltered sonic journey propelled by the elemental force of bassist Linda May Han Oh, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, and drummer Tyshawn Sorey. The music resists categorization—shifting effortlessly from tender lyricism to electrifying intensity. It’s emotional, urgent, and unapologetically vulnerable, channeling both power and fragility in equal measure. Each track unfolds as a cathartic expedition, where improvisation becomes not just a method, but a form of truth-telling.
