JAZZ N PALMS Vinyl & CDs

Review: This one oozes more cool than George Clooney sat poolside and sipping on Kool-Aid. It is the seventh offering in this fine series which features the most iconic reworked, retouched and edited tracks from the legendary soundscapes of Pikes Hotel in Ibiza. There is no better place to ask up the gorgeous vibrations of 'Mata' with its steamy trumpets and genre-breaking beats than under the Mediterranean sun. The flipside 'Xiprell' captures the essence of laid-back sophistication and the warmth of Ibiza with arching prog guitars and pensive chords draped over the most go-slow live drums.

Review: A captivating blend of jazz-infused grooves, soulful melodies and laid-back vibes, delving into the heart of soul music with 'Lost' that sets the tone with its heartfelt vocals and melancholic melodies. On the flipside, 'Thank You' offers a message of gratitude and appreciation, its uplifting harmonies and soulful instrumentation leaving the listener with a sense of warmth and contentment. Expect a selection of tunes that evoke the golden era of soul, with warm instrumentation, rich harmonies, and heartfelt vocals. Whether you're a seasoned soul aficionado or simply looking for some feel-good music to soothe the soul, this compilation is sure to hit the spot.

Review: Jazz N Palms' Soul 02 offers two tracks of infectious soul music. 'Away' on Side-1 is a smooth r&b track with a pop-friendly appeal and a soulful touch. The classy singing performance evokes vibes of northern soul and nu-soul, making it a great choice to end the night on a high note. On Side-2, 'Gro' delivers a classic 70s soulful guitar sound infused with blues elements. This instrumental track has a summery feel, perfect for the beach, and features a touch of Latin flavour that adds to its charm. Overall, Soul 02 is a well-crafted release that showcases Jazz N Palms' ability to create soulful and memorable music.
