Review
While Grammy and Emmy nominated arranger and trumpeter Greg Adams will forever be renowned as a co-founder of the legendary Tower of Power, it’s exciting to note that his equally explosive ensemble East Bay Soul is quickly closing in on its first decade of kickin’ recordings and performances. The brass fired ensemble’s stirringly eclectic latest album CONVERSATION has it all and, per its title, connects on many emotional levels. It’s got loose, greasy funk, easy flowing traditional swing, sly strutting sensuality and phenomenal, brass fired R&B vocal tunes by lead singer Darryl Walker – including a searing twist on an Otis Redding classic. Get in this CONVERSATION! Sandy Shore ~smoothjazz.com
East Bay Soul at their best!
A new CD that comes from the master of the muted trumpet and his outstanding band. I wish there were more cuts on this because it takes so long to put out new CDs. I’ve listened to it 3 times now and it gets better with each listen. It starts off pretty mellow but by the time the last half of the album kicks in it is typical East Bay Soul. I can’t wait to see them live because they really leave room to stretch out on each song. Darryl Walker, the vocalist, is one of the secret gems in all of music. Love it!
