Colin Stetson - The love it took to leave you (2024)
Colin Stetson’s The Love It Took to Leave You is a powerful and immersive work that blends experimental jazz with minimalist and electronic influences. His mastery of the saxophone pushes the instrument to its limits, creating both haunting and dissonant textures. Recorded in Montreal’s Darling Foundry, this 2024 release features complex, layered compositions like the title track and the 22-minute “Strike Your Forge and Grin,” which evoke feelings of both tension and release.
