"With Loneliness Road, pianist Jamie Saft, legendary bassist Steve Swallow, and versatile drummer Bobby Previte present a work that is as unexpected as it is captivating—elevated by the haunting voice of none other than Iggy Pop. Far from being just another jazz album, this recording is a bold artistic exploration that fuses contemplative jazz, elements of blues, and the gravelly baritone of a punk icon turned poet.
At its core, the album is deeply rooted in modern jazz tradition. Saft’s lyrical piano, Swallow’s fluid electric bass lines, and Previte’s dynamic, nuanced drumming create a soundscape that is intimate and atmospheric. The true surprise, however, comes with Iggy Pop’s appearance on three tracks. Here, he doesn’t snarl or shout as in his rock persona — instead, he delivers words with a weathered, introspective tone that feels more spoken than sung.
The lyrics touch on loneliness, impermanence, and existential searching perfectly in tune
with the album’s title. Tracks like the eponymous “Loneliness Road” and “Don’t Lose Yourself” are steeped in lyrical depth and emotional gravity, drawing the listener into a reflective, late- night world.
