Joanne Brackeen spent the early 1970s as the only woman in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, holding her own in one of hard bop's most demanding proving grounds, before forging a solo career that consistently pushed into freer harmonic territory. Originally recorded for Choice Records, "Snooze" captures her in that transitional moment, moving toward the dense, labyrinthine compositions that would define her mature voice. Softpack Wallet - Remastered by Bernie Grundman. American pianist and composer Joanne Brackeen has been called the "Picasso of jazz piano", for her unique style and complex improvisations. Â Her work is at the forefront of what avant-garde jazz can be and she has long been one of the giants of modal, post-pop piano. Here Candid Records is proud to present the album as it was originally released, with original album title, original track running order and original album artwork. The recording has been remastered by legendary mastering engineer Bernie Grundman. Tracklist 1. Nefertiti (8:01) 2. Circles (7:24) 3. C-Sri (6:12) 4. Zulu (4:50) 5. Six Ate (4:34) 6.
