about

"You & I" marks Quentin Coaxum's second release since his debut album "Current", released in 2014. With this sophomore project, Coaxum's growth as a composer and trumpeter are on full display. Perhaps more significant is how deeply personal this recording is. With each song, Coaxum paints a picture of his own personal and mental journey through the past 5 years. As the album unfolds, each track increasingly incorporates more genres, illustrating the various places from which Coaxum draws musical influence.

"You & I" is a personal narrative, told through memorable melodies, infectious grooves, and daring improvisation. Though more adventurous than his debut release, Coaxum's musical message not only still remains on "You & I", it proves to be more potent.

Really this album is a masterclass in Hard-Bop, Post-Bop, Spiritual jazz, and soul jazz all wrapped up in a impressively cohesive package. It pays tribute to those that came before while still keeping an eye to the future/past. ATrott

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
