Sefi Zisling‘s latest single, Brothers, pays homage to his eight brothers, both biological and adopted, as he unveils his upcoming third album, The Librarian (via the highly eclectic label Tru Thoughts). This heartfelt tribute reflects Zisling’s deep-rooted appreciation for family and the musical influences they’ve shared. With its electric funk-jazz vibe, Brothers stands out as a reminder of Zisling’s musical origins, influenced by icons like Roy Ayers and Herbie Hancock. The album, dedicated to his loved ones, showcases a shift in Zisling’s composition process towards a more intimate jazz-infused style, inspired by Yusef Lateef. Recorded live with his quartet, The Librarian marks Zisling’s most personal and compelling work yet, representing his evolution as both composer and performer.
