Synopsis

Album Description

Kerr, of the Erykah Badu Band (Neda Stela), combines contemporary jazz, R&B, funk and dance grooves in a musical creation he calls, "SoulJazz." Said Kerr: "My CD is a collection of short, lingering melodies, with underlining funky, yet smooth grooves. I wanted to record songs that would leave you grooving, while the melodies remained entrenched in your mind."

(4 out of 5 stars)

"From the first track of Dwayne Kerr's Flutation, Street Jazz, I was left in no doubt that the jazz flute is here to stay. The rolling groove and smooth vocals of Street Jazz yield easily to the tender Flutation and it's smooth sailing from then on. One of the collaborators on this album is Madonna's former engineer, and old band mate of Angie Stone, Gordon Mack, who co-wrote the brilliant crossover track I Didn't Know. Dwayne himself is no slouch. Full-time member of Erykah Badu's Neda Stela band, he has still found time to produce an album that is complete and satisfying. I dare say there are some tracks on here that may well turn out to be classics, like the Janice Love Theme (written for his wife), A Piper's Dream (so mellow it's painful) and the aforementioned I Didn't Know.If you want to buy a jazz album that's different and will touch you in new ways, Dwayne Kerr is the man for you."
