Next Up Jazz Review: Nathanial Young – Love Theme from Spartacus

“Nathaniel Young’s take on Love Theme from Spartacus doesn’t just chase beauty — it strips it bare. The melody unfolds with an almost cinematic slowness, each note lingering just a breath longer than expected. The result is a soft, sensual drift that never forces emotion, only suggests it. The rhythm, steady and unassuming, becomes a bed for a dreamlike escape balancing nostalgia with a quiet, tactile pleasure.As if whispering, “Stay a little longer, don’t fear the silence,” the piece turns into an inner monologue without words — or perhaps with words never spoken. It’s in those pauses that its true weight settles.”
