Thank Y'All
CD (Item 604579) Enja (Germany), 2011 — Condition: New Copy
We've never heard Max Mersney before – but the set's definitely one that makes us want to say "thanks" – given the deeply soulful approach to the groove! The set's definitely a jazz one – but it's also balance between funky and smooth sides of the spectrum – in a style that really echoes some 70s electric modes, yet which comes across with a freshly contemporary vibe in the end! Keyboards are as heavy as Max's lines on alto sax and flute – lots of great Fender Rhodes and organ that really help give the record a really soulful feel. Titles include "The 4th", "Back To New York", "Choo Choo", "Agi", "Soul Serenade", and "Maxxx". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
