NEW RELEASES FROM WAYNE JONES
A Triple Shot of Smooth Grooves from Wayne Jones, delivering THREE superb stand-alone singles.

Let There Be Bass, smooth jazz single by Wayne Jones

Let There Be Bass

This one pops with an elastic swagger as Jones bends and caresses notes, taking on the lead melodies while somehow laying down the bottom end simultaneously. It takes an extraordinary breed of musician to execute such expertise and expression and on Let There Be Bass, Wayne Jones is at his virtuosic best. As always, drummer Fallon Williams navigates the musical traffic flow with ease and offers the perfect foundation for all to groove upon. Guitarist Isaiah Sharkey dabs a couple of wah wah coloured sweeps to the canvas, as the bigger picture emerges. Rick Braun accepts his time to shine with delight and contributes a sublime flugel horn solo mid-song. By now they’re all in the pocket, submerged in a warm, hearty soup of a song that you just can’t get enough of.

I Guess I’m Done

In a relatively humble intro, Jones’ bass sound casually strolls into the track, simply nodding in acknowledgement of its presence before a vibrant, electric, synth-led motif signals the arrival of the serious stuff. The groove has begun, the extraordinary musicians are all onboard and there’s some mighty fine, freewheelin’ chops happening. Meanwhile Jones is punching and poking through with his bass lines, exploring, listening, finding the gaps and leading the way. The dramatic motif momentarily returns to add some spice and exits just as quickly, leaving pianist Philippe Saisse to take the baton and run with the groove, laying down some sweet Vince Guaraldi style tinkerings. The musical conversation lingers, tastefully and considered, fading out at a mere three and half minutes of commandingly played, luxuriously smooth sounds, then … I guess they’re done.

Sweet Melody (Remix), smooth jazz single by Wayne Jones

Sweet Melody (Remix)

Wayne Jones dusts down and dresses up Sweet Melody, in a remix of the track from his 2015 release Mr Jones. Back then I referred to the tune as “brisk, breezy musical stroll” and nothing’s changed there but five years on, with a new coat of paint, this joyous melody is the pick-me-up we all need in world full of so much darkness. While the motor purrs underneath, above the clouds Wayne and his band of first class musicians weave their magic. It’s all class, the silky stuff you pull out of the back of the locked cabinet once the kids have gone to bed.
