Kind Soul
CD (Item 469901) Ricky Tick (Finland), 2008 — Condition: New Copy
One of the coolest combos so far on the mighty Ricky Tick Records – a trio arranged and produced by Teddy Rok, and one with a cracklingly lean approach to rhythm! Instrumentation is heavy on vibes, percussion, and keyboards – and the tunes have a style that's a bit funkier than other work on Ricky Tick – still with plenty of influences from classic jazz of the 60s and 70s, but put together with a bit more production, and a slightly more cut-up feel! There's plenty of breaks throughout – and in a way, the whole thing almost feels like Madlib's trip into the Blue Note archives a few years back – classic-styled enough to preserve the warmth and soul of the original inspirations, but with a leaner groove that has plenty of contemporary appeal. Titles include "Bright Moments", "Dynamite", "Roll Call", "Steve McQueen", "Blow Back", "Mean Spirit", "She May Be Moody", "Cool Hand/Turmoil", and "Jay's Lament". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
