Soul Café’: Step Aside

A mix of soul and jazz reminiscent of the halcyon days of The Crusaders is delivered by the team of Ed Starrett/g, Jerry Scruggs/key, Jason Swagler/wwinds-keys, Tim Quarells/dr, Bud Quarells/b and Donald Williams/perc on this pulsating collection of originals. Quarells’ electric bass percolates with the percussion as Swagler’s alto sax glides over on “Major over Minor”, with the team using a shovel to dig a groove on “It’s ON The Way”. Starrett’s guitar is gentle on your mind for the sublime and romantic  “Sunset In May” while adding to the gospel feel and Swagler’s flute on the synth pulsed “Unspoken Request”. You might end up doing the Funky Chicken with Swagler and Quarrells during the soulful “Back Home” and the team gets tropical for “Great Things”. Cruising music that is made for a V8.
