Los Angeles saxophonist and Black Nile member Aaron Shaw’s solo effort And So It Is presents a tranquil, spiritual jazz exploration wrapped in meditative ambient electronic textures. Released via Leaving Records, the album centers on Shaw’s warm, expressive tenor saxophone, which glides over lush harp glissandos, soft electric piano chords, and hypnotic, organic percussion. Moving between introspective, floating solos and warm, uplifting grooves, the record creates a deeply healing atmosphere—blending the spiritual lineage of Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders with modern West Coast beats and serene, dreamlike soundscapes.
