Jane Ira Bloom - Songs In Space (2025) [Hi-Res]

Soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom is back in zero Gs with her latest recording Songs in Space, a constellation of duets and trios conceived and performed especially for the experience of surround sound listening. The saxophonist who has an asteroid named after her (6083janeirabloom) and long known for her association with NASA pairs with longtime bandmates pianist Dominic Fallaco (from the Grammy nominated ballad project “Sixteen Sunsets”) and bassist Mark Helias and drummer Bobby Previte (from the Grammy award winning trio recording “Early Americans”).

There are nine stellar originals including “Better Starlight” and “Riding My Planet” and two gravitationally re-arranged ballad classics “I Could Have Danced All Night” and “My Foolish Heart” that showcase Bloom’s extraordinary connect with Fallacaro and full-throated abandon with her rhythm section. The music is both lyric and motion-filled, played by seasoned performers who know how to just set the soundscape in space.
