[Album review] Way Out West (Japan) | Chantal Acda & The Atlantic Drifters – Silently Held

The floating, ethereal accompaniment by the great Bill Frisell (guitar) is outstanding. The precise, on-point bass of Thomas Morgan (bass), who has worked with Bill for many years, gently intertwines with Belgium’s top-notch horn section to fully bring out the charm of Dutch singer-songwriter Chantal Acda, who transcends genre boundaries.

This is her greatest masterpiece and a strong candidate for the best album of 2024.
