(5 out of 5 stars)

"Some jazz listeners try to lash out on jazz they are not familiar with by saying that it lacks soul. Fortunately as a long time jazz listener I can tell you that "SOUL" is carried to the listener in the drive of the music.Not all jazz has its soul in the same place.It truly depends on the listener. Niacin has that drive that the majority of mainstream-radio-standard-blow-the-saxaphone-all-day-jazz lacks.That type of jazz is also known as Wal-Mart jazz.Niacin is powerful jazz. Powerful jazz makes you wanna create, makes the artistic senses awaken to salute to that drive.That is why rapid fire yet graceful solos earn jazz musicians so much prestige.The way that they play their instrument of choice as if their life depended on it, revealing their oneness with that sacred instrument,their "soul".That is exactly what the band members in Niacin does:each reveals their soul through the desired instrument. The drive is that energy that they offer to you, the listener through their playing. To me and other niacin song owners,the drive in this music is the soul. If you want music that will motivate you through powerful creative rhythms then this is your cd."
