This clip is from a solo from Aldana’s first album, released in 2010. I’ve really gotten into her playing the last couple of months for a few particular reasons. I think she’s one of the tenor players currently on the scene that really explores changing tone and expression while executing technical ideas at the same time. She openly holds up Sonny Rollins as a really big influence for that approach, so her music has also led me back to Sonny, which of course is inspiring as well!
