All About Jazz[3]

In his review for PopMatters, Sean Murphy notes that "What Saft manages to do on Fight Against Babylon is create an organic ambiance and, without any in-the-studio sorcery or clever manipulation (strategies he has already showcased on the aforementioned efforts), establish a deep, utterly pleasant groove".[2] On All About Jazz, Eyal Hareuveni, said "producer and multi-instrumentalist Jamie Saft's New Zion Trio debut recording succeeds in blowing fresh winds in the traditional piano trio with dub aesthetics, citing King Tubby, Bob Marley, Bill Evans, Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane as influences".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Macron idea: analog pointers with crosstalk.
gollark: Whenever an error happens, it randomly mutates nearby AST nodes until it works.
gollark: They were already moved to the runtime compile time metaphase anyway.
gollark: I think the exposure to eldritch abominations from beyond the ken of mortals has damaged their brains slightly.
gollark: It is in fact ramblings.
