Now, Cochemea Gastelum journeys back to Daptone Records to link up with old friends and add new rhythms to the group’s legacy. All My Relations is a collection of soothing spiritual jazz that asserts the saxophonist as a intrepid musical globalist. A Californian with Yaqui and Mescalero Apache ancestry, Cochemea works indigenous sounds into his organic compositions. Seyewailo opens with a charming sax section that sounds lifted from a 1980s sitcom before evolving into a modern latin jazz number. Closer Song of Happiness is equally peppy, rounding off a blissful set from the globetrotting virtuoso.
