Hi everybody!
Check out this new review of "Old Sax Nu Soul" by Bob Davis of Soul-Patrol Magazine...
Eric Daniel and Friends - Old Sax Nu Soul
Sometimes the title of an album can tell you everything that you can expect from what's actually inside of it when you listen to it. This album has been one of my "secret pleasures" for about the past six months and I suppose that it's about time to let you all in on one of my "secrets". It's really an album of (mostly) instrumental Neo Soul, by that I mean an updated version of what used to be called "soul jazz".
However unlike many Neo Soul artists these cats can really play and can hang with real jazz musicians. For you "old headz" it's got kinda like a Lonnie Liston Smith type of vibe. For you "new headz" once you listen to this album, you will quickly understand exactly why much of what is categorized as "neo soul" is a fraud. "Old Sax Nu Soul" is erotic in the a way that when you close your eyes you think that you are resting on a magic carpet that is floating three inches off of the ground at the foot of one of the pyramids. "Old Sax Nu Soul" is 16 tracks of super erotic/stank nasty music that if the Neo Soul crowd were to actually listen to it, this album would turn their insides completely out and force them to realize that "elevator music" is NOT erotic, nor is it passionate. The vocals are somewhat muted, but are quite effective. This album is a great example of the "future" part of the phrase "great black music from the ancient to the future"! And that's why it's playing in rotation on the NuSoul @ RadioIO. In fact if Eric wants to tell people that I named the channel after his album (I won't argue with him).
