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
