Fertile Ground Yellow Daisies

• Words: Velanche
• Label: Counterpoint
• XLR8R Rating: /10

Pulled from the Baltimore-based group‘s ‘04 album Black Is..., Fertile Ground‘s "Yellow Daises" gets the bossa treatment. Nicola Conte has gathered top Italian jazz musicians, recrafting the tune with springtime vibes. Calling it his "Ptah El Daoud" style as a nod to Alice Coltrane, the easygoing tempo retains Navasha Daya‘s commanding vocals. "Yellow Daisies" could grow on you.
