JJ Vianello & The Soul Bulletts-Love Rains On Me-NEW CD

JJ Vianello & The Soul Bulletts-

Love Rains On Me

NEW CD

Funky rhythms and modal grooves ¿ all held together nicely by the raspy vocals of JJ Vianello!

The record's got echoes of other recent work from Italy ¿ particularly some of the Mario Biondi recordings, in its mix of well-chosen modes from the 60s!

But JJ's also got a bent that's more soul than some of the jazz of other projects like this ¿ and effortlessly steps back and forth between genres throughout the space of the album! Instrumentation's by a core small combo, but there's lots of jazzy contributions from guests ¿ and some rhythms at the bottom that push the grooves a bit more towards the dancefloor at times. Vianello sings in English on most cuts ¿ and titles include great covers of "Cincinnati Kid" and "Sympathy For The Devil" ¿ plus "Just A Game", "Your Smile", "Fire", "Such A Shame", "Your Morning Smile", "Sparami", and "Love Rains On Me".
