"Drummer Scott Sadlon is back with a new collaborative project, Songs From Thin Air. Decades after his 2006 trio release The Double Life, Sadlon returns to the studio alongside keyboardist Rachel Eckroth and bassist Tim Lefebvre. The album relies entirely on live, one-take improvisation, mixing atmospheric jazz with steady, rock-influenced rhythms.

The Deep Dive

As the album opener, Post Tension sets a firm foundation for the session. Scott Sadlon drives the momentum with an excellent rhythm beat that really traces into a strong Billy Cobham style. Tim Lefebvre works the piece with melodic electric bass lines, clearing a dynamic space for Rachel Eckroth’s soaring, ethereal keyboard work. It is an energetic, confident introduction that establishes how well this trio locks in together. On Bones, Eckroth works magic with an echoey, rhythmic almost mechanical groove which Lefebvre drills down on and Sadlon anchors on drums. I like his sense of direction providing a firm platform for electronic exploration elongated by Lefebvre on bass and with a funky bottom added by Lefebvre gives the track a more melodic keyboard destination. 

I really like the quiet melody of Acceptance with a strong bass sub lead by Lefebvre and patient drumming of Sadlon. Wrapping the release is The Way Out, a spacy yet fully formed track with a rock solid bottom and keyboard melody with an eastern/Asian undertone. Lefebvre guides the transitions and progressions in the track with well chosen notes and phrasing. Solid closer. BTW I really like the album cover.

                                   Watch: Scott Sadlon play - "Post Tension"

Scott Sadlon's Songs From Thin Air (2026) is a casual jazz-fusion session centered on simple electronic exploration. Backed by Sadlon’s steady rhythm beats, the tracks lean on Tim Lefebvre’s grounding bass lines to clear space for Rachel Eckroth’s echoey keyboard work. Moving from the energetic drive of "Post Tension" to the patient spacing of "Acceptance" and the spacy undertones of "The Way Out," the album provides a functional, relaxed baseline for the trio's sonic ideas.



Bman's Verdict

Songs From Thin Air is a casual jazz-fusion session that provides a relaxed, functional baseline for simple electronic exploration and steady trio interplay.
