Six years after her highly acclaimed ‘Portrait Of Lady May’ album was released Tatiana Ladymay Mayfield returns with ‘The Next Chapter’ and the soul jazz fusion with those sweet strong vocals is back in full effect. The irresistible foottapping groove of ‘I Want More’, the laid back jazzy washes of ‘Me And You’ and the organic, soaring feel of ‘Overflow’ really kick the set off well. ‘Insomnia’ has an emphatic, building quality and again straddles soul and jazz perfectly with her talented band laying down a tight groove, the acapella ‘Starting Over’ demonstrates the strength of her voice while the album is bookended with two 10 minute + tracks that allow Mayfield and the band to emphasise the message. The social politically charged ‘Freedom’ is a delicate protest song while ‘The Next Chapter’ gives Tatiana room to scat over the swgaggering funky groove that builds to a crescendo. A strong return.
