A BUMPY RIDE…

We were introduced to “new” music collective JAZZ ROSCO earlier this summer via their catchy, contemporary soul groove, ‘Standing Right Here’. We discovered that Jazz Rosco weren’t new at all. Indeed the ensemble were seasoned music vets. Marshalled by acclaimed US keyboardist, ROGER SMITH (you’ll know him from his time with Tower Of Power), the group (at various times) includes fellow Tower of Power musicians David Garibaldi, Adolfo Acosta, Tom Politzer, and Marcus Scott, as well as Prince and Sheila E. saxophonist Eddie “M” Mininfield, The Temptations, former Santana vocalist Tony Lindsay and eight-time Grammy winner and Carlos Santana’s percussionist Karl Perazzo! Little wonder their Standing Right Here’  was quality!

Jazz Rosco now follow that one with an equally ab fab track – ‘Bump City’ (note the TOP connection!). This is a classic steppers’ tune – easy on the ear and easy on the feet. The sweet vocal’s down to ever-reliable Tony Lindsay  while the rest of the band craft a delicious soundscape.  As ‘Standing Right Here’ come out on vinyl this will be the B side – but it’s every bit as good as the  A side! Yes, recommended!
