His first solo project was Funky Flavas (2003) featuring Mike Stern. His sophomore album Miss You was released in October, 2010. The new album features David Garfield (keys), Will Lee and John Penna (bass), Steve Ferrone and Ricky Lawson (drums), Michito Sanchez (percussion) and Veronica Mortensen (vocals). Soren introduces into his music with the sneaky Butterup Drive. A melodious groove with an intimate and highly detailed embellishment. This passionate love of details is also to find on Let's Cruise. In the last part of the song Soren mesmerizes with an outstanding guitar solo. Also superb David Garfield's affinity for classic keys like Rhodes and Wurlitzer. At The Cafe takes a glimpse at the lounge scene with Veronica Mortensen's in the first phrase alienated vocals. On Reflections Soren dives in slow motion through the open waters of guitar dream. Soren captures the audience with alluring melodies like Getting Started, a ballade reminding of Eric Clapton's style. The Funk goes through its second adolescence. Soren's contribution is Funky Mama. Percussive, trenchant and on the point he presents a more intellectual view of this genre. Can music express the feeling about a lost person? The romantic Miss You is Soren's awesome ethereal answer. A timeless soothing classic. While David Garfield performs on I Can't Stop a magic and elegant piano line, offers Soren with his distortion effected guitar the more energetic part. Exciting, physical and burly. Final tune on this impressive album is the contemplative Lullaby. Soren showcases both sides of his guitar artistry, wild and peaceful. Soren Reiff's album Miss You is highly addictive for those, who love the melodious feature of jazz. Authentic and stunning. Every hour you spend listening to this album, is a good investment of your worthy time.
