This is the fifty eighth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Acute Inflections is the duo of singer Elasea Douglas and bassist Sadiki Pierre.
Ms. Douglas was classically trained, involved in dance and theatre (performing on Broadway) and became interested in singing jazz as a teenager.
Sadiki Pierre is also classically trained, focused on classical music for a time but chose jazz which he since mastered.
Acute Inflections performs jazz standards along with r&b, top 40, rock and reggae selections during their engagements, but all of their music has the adventure and improvising of jazz.
On their LiveStream from May 22, 2020, Acute Inflections performs “Blue Skies,” a soul ballad, a sensuous version of “Besame Mucho,” “Summertime,” some Stevie Wonder and a few other fine songs, all of which they swing.
Throughout this fine set, Elasea Douglas’ beautiful voice and Sadiki Pierre’s attentive and impressive bass playing make for a perfect team.

Review:
This is the one hundred and first in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Salieu Suso is a master of the 21-stringed kora which he has played from the age of eight.
Born in Gambia, West Africa to a musical family that includes the originator of the kora (JaliMady Wulayn Suso), Salieu was trained on the kora by his father.
Salieu Suso settled in the U.S. in 1989 after touring Africa and Europe, becoming a leader in America’s African music scene.
On his LiveStream from May 8, 2020 Suso sings along with his virtuoso playing on the kora during a hypnotic piece that may remind some of early country blues
Even though most of his singing is in a different language, the music of Salieu Suso succeeds at being effectively mesmerizing.

Review:
This is the Hundredth and thirtieth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Bobby Sanabria has done a great deal in his careers as a drummer, percussionist, composer-arranger, educator and bandleader to help Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz.
Born and raised in the South Bronx of New York, Sanabria has worked with virtually every significant artist in Afro-Cuban jazz including Mario Bauzá, Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Paquito D’Rivera, Candido, Ray Barretto, Chico O’Farrill, Francisco Aguabella, and Celia Cruz, not to mention Henry Threadgill, Roswell Rudd, David Amram, Charles McPherson, Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker, and Charles Tolliver among countless others.
Bobby Sanabria has led several notable albums of his own (including Live & In Clave, 50 Years of Mambo: A Tribute to Perez Prado, Kenya Revisited Live, Tito Puente Masterworks Live, MULTIVERSE, Que Viva Harlem, and West Side Story Reimagined.
On his LiveStream from Sept. 11, 2020, Bobby Sanabria (on drums, timbales and percussion) performs with a quartet comprised of Peter Brainin on tenor, soprano and flute, keyboardist Silvano Monasterios and electric bassist Ian Stewart.
On such numbers as “Mambo Inn” (mistakenly listed as “Bebop”), the charming “Danzon,” “Darn That Dream” (a feature for the tenor-saxophonist), the swinging uptempo “Blues In The Closet,” “La Negra Tomasa” (on which Sanabria sings), and the spirited closer “Compadre Pedro Juan” (which becomes “St. Thomas” and finally “The Saints”). Bobby Sanbria and his versatile quartet put on an entertaining and very musical show.
