Overview

Philippe Saisse dedicated At World's Edge to his late father Maurice Saisse.[2] This album has African and Latin influences.

The album was nominated for the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album[2] but lost to the Joe Zawinul album 75.[3] This was Saisse's first Grammy nomination.[1] The other nominees were Urbanus by Stefon Harris, Sounding Point by Julian Lage, and Big Neighborhood by Mike Stern.[4]

Recording

Work on the album began in Saisse's Scarsdale, New York basement studio, but he had to relocate to Los Angeles after a flood destroyed the studio. The album's core musicians, drummer Simon Phillips, bassist Pino Palladino, and guitarist Jeff Golub, recorded with Saisse in Los Angeles, but not all of the album was recorded on site. The guest musicians recorded their parts where ever they were, then sent them to Saisse who produced the pieces together. The work was then sent to Tokyo where engineer Goh Hotoda completed the mixing.[5]

Selected tracks

Saisse's mid-recording forced cross-country move was the inspiration for much of the album.[6] "Billy's Blues", which features Jason Golley on both trumpet and flugelhorn, was inspired by Saisse's friend Bill Howell. Saisse stayed with Howell prior to his move west, the location of Howell's home was the inspiration for the track "Topanga Moon Dance".[9] The album opens with "From Nowhere to Now Here", the piece tells the story of his journey west.[7] The track "Assante Sana" exemplifies Saisse's world view of music. This Latin flavored piece feature the vocals of Angélique Kidjo from Benin, Africa.[7]
