“Naima” by AriSawkaDoria: Review

AriSawkaDoria have just released a mind-blowing take on Coltrane’s iconic “Naima,” and it’s not your average cover. This trio—featuring KJ Sawka (Pendulum, Destroid) on drums, Ari Joshua (The All’s Eye, Music Factory Records) on guitar, and Joe Doria on the Hammond B3—take this jazz classic and flip it into something entirely new while still staying true to the original’s soul. They’ve managed to blend raw energy with deep emotion and added their own modern twist to create a sound you’ll want to get lost in.
