Harpist Brandee Younger follows in the footsteps of Alice Coltrane and John Coltrane by signing to Impulse! Somewhere Different is to be released next month with the track 'Reclamation' streaming to introduce the Dezron Douglas-produced album for the label known to borrow the title of Ashley Kahn's evocative 2006 book on the label founded by Creed Taylor in 1960 as ''the house that Trane built''. Remember Douglas and Younger's stirring Force Majeure work together last year on 'The Creator Has a Masterplan'? With Younger are drummers Allan Mednard and Marcus Gilmore, bassist Rashaan Carter, trumpeter Maurice Brown, tenorist Chelsea Baratz and flautist Anne Drummond with erstwhile Vijay Iyer trio drummer Gilmore also contributing drum programming. Bass titan Ron Carter from the Second Great Miles Davis Quintet guests on two tracks plus singer Tarriona “Tank” Ball on one. Brandee Younger photo: Erin Patrice O'Brien
