Brass-Fueled Nostalgia Journey

I've forever been a fan of J.J. and all things featuring big, deep brass sounds... Kai is phenomenal, and I just stumbled upon this growly album. It's got a few gems... like giving UVA credit for trombones leading dance tracks (gotta look into that more), and acknowledging Alaska because it just became a state and they didn't want to leave them out and hurt their feelings - haha! The majorly awesome tracks are Carry Me Back to Old Virginny (James Bland - another fascinating person to look into), Georgia on My Mind, and California, Here I Come (!!!).

I've always been a huge fan of J.J. and anything featuring big, powerful brass... Kai is incredible and I just happened to stumble upon this fantastic album. It's packed with some real gems... like giving credit to UVA for their trombones leading dance tracks (I'll definitely need to look into that more), and acknowledging Alaska because it had just become a state and they didn't want to leave them out and hurt their feelings - haha! The standout tracks are Carry Me Back to Old Virginny (James Bland - another fascinating person to look up), Georgia on My Mind, and California, Here I Come (!!!).
