Kirk Degiorgio's new album is out on Neroli. Mature techno-jazz fusion. Wonderful stuff.
Track List
Kirk Degiorgio is back on Neroli with a follow up of his acclaimed 2023 ‘Robe Of Dreams’ album. In this new record, aptly entitled ‘The Statement’, Kirk widens the jazz/modern jazz palette and it almost feels like an extension of the previous one, but this time exploring more unbeaten paths. Free-jazz drums meet ambient pads, soaring vocal harmonies from Beauty Room vocalist Jinadu meet funky breakbeats, some channeling of classic Lonnie Liston Smith/Marcus Miller era jazz-funk all adds up to another feast of sonic delights from Degiorgio.
As One, aka Kirk Degiorgio, returns to Volcov's Neroli with a new album following 2023's "Robe Of Dreams." Nine tracks described as "channeling the jazz-funk era of Lonnie Liston Smith and Marcus Miller." Singer Jinadu, who has collaborated with Degiorgio on tracks like The Beauty Room's cover of Weldon Irvine's "Don't You Know" and "Problems," appears on one cut. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
