New Music Releases: Victor Haynes; James Bowman III; LR-60 & Qero


Victor Haynes – Take It To The Top

Victor Haynes is Expansion’s longest serving artist who as an accomplished singer and songwriter has enjoyed immense popularity over many years. “Take It To The Top” is Victor’s first physical CD release since 2014, and finds him at the top of his game with his velvet voice, original quality songs and rich arrangements. Just ahead of this CD release the digital album reached No.1 on the UK Soul Chart, this physical release coming complete with bonus track and remix.  Includes: Take It To The Top, Destiny, Strong Love, Do I Qualify, Spend Some Time, Jazz Street, Tapestry Of Love, Who Do You Love, and more.


James Bowman III - Things on My Mind

Colorful, uplifting, steady grooving and wildly inspiring, singer and songwriter James Bowman III’s latest album Things On My Mind offers a seamless merging of gospel energy, sacred reverence and urban oriented Smooth Jazz. Having played with Brian McKnight and Mervyn Warren and opened for everyone from Edwin Hawkins, Kirk Franklin and Bebe and CeCe Winans, the multi-talented artist and seductive vocalist has plenty to communicate about - the Lord, marriage, family and relationship. Led by a spiritual lyrical reworking of an Earth, Wind & Fire classic, the collection offers a positive overall message to combat the harsh discourse occurring in the world today. ~ smoothjazz.com

LR-60 & Qero - INCA

INCA, the fascinating debut album by LR-60 (aka veteran trumpeter Skip Warren) and electronic artist Qero (Michael Beaumont), brings a highly original, sonically trippy and transcendent vibe some describe as “organic psychedelica” to the Smooth landscape. There are Latin rhythms, pocket grooves, throbbing beats and dreamy ambiences, yet the deeper flow and intricate, percussive tapestry of their trance-inducing, hypnotic exotica tap into Inca spiritual traditions and the colorful, expressive cultures of Mexico, Central and South America. Warren started his career touring for ten years with legendary bluesman Bobby “Blue” Bland – and these influences add depth and texture throughout. ~ smoothjazz.com
