British saxophonist and rapper. Tracks stick to a mainstream bent, mostly straight-jazz instrumentals with a few 90-degree turns into fairly safe hip-hop territory. Jazz-wise, Kinch is the descendent of Coltrane that you'd expect, and he spins some nice fast sax solos. A jazz guitar provides the second lead voice. The raps seem reasonable (I'm admittedly no expert here) and get a weird tilt from Kinch's British accent. 1- Cool-handed rap. "Open it up." 2- Gets into some nice fast jamming 3- Slow mystery. Opens with nice sax solo. 4- Slinky little theme. Midtempo and light. 5- Bright mid/fast post-bop 6- Mellow R&B with rap. Jazzy background led by guitar. 7- Sly Middle-Eastern groove. Kind of retro. 8- Bouncy happy bebop 9- Slow and romantic, a bit sappy/loungy. 10- Mid/fast, opens with a big drum solo 11- Cross between rap and Tin Pan Alley. Interesting and sunny. 12- *FCC* Closing rap, with band callouts and thank yous. | ||
