Gabriele Pose 'Roots Of Soul' - INFRA Com
Gabriele Poso is an Italian multi-instrumentalist/composer, Has released " Roots Of Soul with German based label INFRAcom!.
I would describe the album as a mix of Jazz, Latin & Afro with guest vocals from Onsunlade, Naliah Porter & Tanya Michelle, on the whole it works well with "You Dont Love Me" Ft Osunlade as one of the stand out vocal tracks which was originally covered byreggae artist Dawn Penn, this time around it has a very cool Latin soulful vibe.
The other very strong vocal track is "With Me Come Fly" Ft Naliah Porter this is something that includes a more acoustic sound and it works well and is more nu-jazz in direction my kinda thing !
The first of the instrumentals is "Freedom", a straight ahead Latin Jazz with a stunning horn section and a stand out guitar, the second 'Afro Blue' has a big big horn section and a driving rhythm section this seriously kicks it.
Another cover on this album is from the legend Dizzy Gilespies ' Tin Tin Deo ", this instrumental is lead by the vibes & flute, it moves along at a smouldering pace and is very faithful to the original.
This album has 13 tracks in total, it's very good with a couple of exceptions that do let the album down a bit, but I won't name and shame them, you will have make your own mind up on that. The Jazz will not blow your mind, it's not that kind of album, however there is purpose to the project and that is to entertain rather than stretch your Jazzy intellect ! It's fun simple as that :>) It's well worth a purchase, the kinda album that you stick in your car stereo and play at full volume.
