Detroit,
Michigan based trumpet player Lin Rountree has just released his
seventh album on Trippin 'N' Rhythm Records. Fluid (2021) is, despite
or perhaps because of the limitations of the pandemic, an all-around
successful work with the participation of numerous musicians.
For a complete
listing of those involved in the production and performing, see
Credits. Lin relies on the well-known producers like Michael Broening,
Chris “Big Dog” Davis, Matt Godina, and more.
The album opens with a
shining piece composed by Michael Broening simply titled Release.
A pleasant and well crafted trumpet melody right up your alley.
Fluid has some influence from Herb Alpert's late work offering an
organic flow covering the beloved melodic ground.
Candie's Dance
embraces the Urban smooth jazz style with hand-clapping support and
swaying melody influx. FuSion has nothing with jazz fusion in
common. The contemporary resolution is rather anchored in smooth jazz.
Me For Me is by no means to be understood egocentrically.
Lindsey Webster is very quick to explain vocally that it has to do
with the typical two-person relationship.
Don't await the dessert when
it comes to Chocolate. If one did not know better, one could
assign the piece to the group War. Lin Rountree gives true meaning to
the word Koolin. Isn't the trumpet the most suitable
instrument of coolness? If you're looking for cruise relaxation,
you'll find it at Amazing Love.
With You gives us
the sound experience Selina Albright, who never ceases to amaze with
her vocal range. Final tune of the album is Dream featuring
David P. Stevens on guitar leaving a lasting impression.
In the
face of strong competition in the smooth jazz genre, Lin Rountree's
album Fluid has shown that his new project is winning over
audiences with fire and prowess.
