Review: Since first pitching up on Favorite Recordings a few years back, Russian saxophonist Andre Solomko has delivered a string of impressive albums and singles that gleefully join the dots between smooth jazz, '80s jazz-funk and Afro-fired disco-funk. Le Deltaplane, his latest full-length excursion, explores similar sonic territory, moving from languid, jazz-funk-influenced soul ("Le Deltaplane") and deliciously smooth and glassy-eyed disco-jazz ("Moonbeach Disco"), to heavy Afro-disco brilliance ("Le Premier Disco Sans Toi") via a range of sumptuous, solo-heavy workouts that sound like that could have been featured on a sought-after, turn-of-the-'80s jazz-funk obscurity. Throughout, Solomko and company's instrumentation is little less than sublime.
