Description:

Right Time Left by Thom Rotella, released 26 September 2025. This version of Right Time Left comes as a 1xCD. -

Jazz guitarist Thom Rotella is back and this new release finds him spinning some soulful, sophisticated jazz that fans of his previous Savant Record, Side Hustle, won't want to miss. Over the years, Rotella has worked with some serious heavyweights like Norah Jones, Seth MacFarlane, Diane Schuur, and Stanley Turrentine, carving out a name for himself as a go-to guitarist in the world of jazz, pop, and studio work. On this project, though, the vibe is all about connection, chemistry, and that illusive spot where taste meets feelings. The always-funky Wil Blades on organ and the dynamic Charles Ruggiero on drums are on hand, laying down a rich, organic foundation for Rotella's blues-tinged guitar work to build upon. And that's just the beginning. Saxophone great Ernie Watts lends his unmistakable tone and lyrical phrasing to a few standout tracks, while trumpeter/composer Jeremy Pelt adds some brassy brilliance of his own. And on a couple of cuts, the always-stunning Tierney Sutton steps in with some haunting, wordless vocals that add a shimmering layer of depth, elegance, and quiet intensity to the music. Whether you've been following Rotella for years or are just joining the party, this record welcomes you from the first track. It's warm, it's savvy, and above all, it's honest. Just great players making outstanding music together.
