Reviewed: 2018-08-08 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Grammy winner Isles’ debut disc lives up to its title. Mr. Isles has worked most often as a side musician for artists across hip-hop, jazz and R&B, and his own record manages to throw it all together — making room along the way for a few guest singers and rappers — while keeping a firm center.
