Doo-Ha!

The album features seven shades of soul-jazz, from the downhome strut of Walk On, through the New Orleans, prayermeeting influenced Run Tell That and the cooler, more detached soundtrack hipness of Cold Catch, to the joyous Sliced, Diced and Fried Twice reminder that music shares so much language and emotion with food, and the term soul applies to both. The Saint And The Stranger is yet another take on the more cinematic soul sound, with nods to the policier soundtracks of Cinevox, whilst Snick Snack gratifies our appetite for yet more hot, greasy blues. Finally, How Long Before You’re Gone rounds out the album with groove that wouldn’t be out of place on Nina Simone playlist, reminder that there has always been more to soul-jazz than late nights and fried chicken.
