The Green: Marching Orders

Comprised of Caleb Keolanue/voc, JP Kennedy/voc-g, Zion Thompson/voc-g, Ikaika Antone/voc-key, Brad Watanabe/b-key and Jordan Espinoza/dr, The Green delivers R&Bish grooved reggae pieces with dashes of vintage horns and modern electronics. With African percussion,  a Caribbean feal is felt on pieces like the opening title track while lots of synthetic grooves are included on ”Good Feeling” , the cozy “The Garden” and the lovely ballad “All I Need.” The sweaty horn team of Eric Hirschhorn/sax, Max O’Leary/tp and Josh Molle/tb add punch to the swinging “Good Feeling” and “Mama Roots” and an earnest message is featured on ”My Rights.” Classic with a club feel.
