Frank Strazzeri After The Rain / Blue Moon / Cloudburst 1 & 2 Black Vinyl Edition

” First up is “After the rain”, a stunning & superb mellow groove led by the master flautist Sam Most. On this track Frank and Sam share the vibe in every way, the super sexy Flute & Rhodes grooves, solos give this track the 10/10. This track is so infectious in its wonderfulness, it puts it in my top ten jazz chillers All-time. Essential. Blue Moon” a superb Jazz bass sample intro, Sam Most on the Saxophone with Bobby Shew backing up on the Flugelhorn, this is a Jazz delight!! Moving from Latin grooves to 4/4 vibes which such ease. Frank’s Rhodes solo creeps up on you at the end, love it. Sunday Jazz gem.“Cloudburst” PT1, is an organic track that opens with a wonderful Rhodes chord sequence that just gets me, every time ooooh! Introduce bass by Harvey Newmark to the laid-back groove intro, then Boooom!! Let’s shift it up a gear, Rhodes clav vibe and super funky drums set the pace, with funky horns to complement that groove, Smokin’ jazz funk!! Once the Flute comes in this track has taken me to the clouds and back. Part two kicks back right into the groove, a perfect club cut, with Frank on the Rhodes, Harvey on the Bass groove, this is one heavy groove.
