Extra Inches – The Music of Ledisi & Friends Vol.1
Ledisi’s visit this week to London inspired me to give her music more than a passing thought today. Obviously, a lot of folk have been getting wiser to this lady more recently. Fact of the matter is, she’s been at it since the late 90’s. Overnight sensation? There’s no such thing. Personally, I love her earlier work with far more emphasis on jazz than of late. That being said, here collaborations and catalogue thus far is nothing less than magnificent and as way of tribute, here’s thirteen tracks taken from twelve albums that give a marvellous overview of one of the finest female vocalists in the world today. Volume 2 won’t be too far behind. [BH]
