(June 19, 2022) We’ve been following sax player supreme Fostina Dixon for a few years now. She is an artist who has bridged genres like the lines between them never existed. Part of the wave of talented horn players who came to dominate the contemporary jazz airwaves in the not-too-distant past, she has continued to please audiences with her own brand of R&B-fused music, whether performing solo or with her band, Winds of Change.
For her newest release, Fostina takes on the Grammy winning Silk Sonic song “Leave The Door Open,” and makes it her own, balancing the gritty with the sweet. Dixon builds a smooth, laid back foundation for the ballad, and then delivers a series of resolute nighttime riffs on top, all resulting in a fresh new look at a not-so-old favorite.
Check out “Leave The Door Open” and welcome Fostina Dixon back to SoulTracks.
