Free Music Review: The Blue Note Debut, Soulive!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great follow up to Soulive's first album. Now they're signed to probaly the greatest record company in the country; Blue Note, which also hosts Medeski Martin Wood, Terence Blanchard, Joe Lavano, Charlie Hunter, Cassandra Wilson, and many more.
I am a huge fan of organ trios. Sometimes I wish they just recorded with the three of them, but the horns do sound nice. This is tight grooves. Soulive are the kings of modern soul funk jazz.
Soulive hasn't released a studio album in a while. And it's really bugging me. I want to hear how these guys are progressing. With their last studio release, Next, Soulive proved to have some soul left in them, but we haven't gotten anything in a while.
I happened to catch a Soulive preformance on BET jazz the other night, and these guys were smoking. Smoking soul, Soulive knows how to bring down the house.
I think one of the reasons Soulive is so successful is that they appeal to everyone. They have the style, the looks, that appeal to the younger generation, yet they can still get down and groove and play some real jazz.
I think we're only in the early stages of Soulive, but my guess is that they grow into a very decent band. They are one of my favorites, and probaly will be for years to come.
In the mean time, keep listening to this funky album! It's got some killer grooves that can put you right in the mood. Soulive, the great soul jazz ensemble!
Doin' Something Poster
Doin' Something, Soulive's Blue Note debut and second album overall, sees the organ-based groove-jazz trio creatively stretching beyond their heralded debut, Turn It Out. Where that session was a lean, live cooker that cemented the trio's appeal to the acid-jazz and jam-band crowd, Doin' Something reaps the rewards of time spent in the studio--there are overdubs and, more importantly, an ambitious, varied overall vision. Rather than just rattling off a dozen jams based on a single line, the tunes here are actual songs with memorable melodies that draw upon hip-hop, soul, funk, and pop to go along with the rump-shaking jazz grooves. Furthering the funk foundation, the trio--guitarist Eric Krasno and brothers Neal and Alan Evans on organ and drums, respectively, also brought in James Brown-veteran trombonist Fred Wesley to lead a four-piece brass section (and contribute horn arrangements) on a few tracks. This is the sound of a hot young band putting its best foot forward, and the great thing is, you won't be able to keep your foot from bouncing along. --Tad HendricksonDance & DJ Music CDs
