Piece by piece, Darren Rahn has been assembling the jigsaw of what is becoming an ever more complete career. Having variously written or produced for the likes of Dave Koz, Tim Bowman and the late Wayman Tisdale, his prowess as a solo saxophonist has led to three critically acclaimed albums, ‘Once In A Lifetime’, ‘Soulful’ and most recently ‘Talk Of The Town’. This latter collection garnered the horn driven, Billboard chart topping, title cut which proved to be everything that edgy contemporary jazz should be and now he is back with the soon to be released ‘Speechless’.
It is his first recording on Trippin 'N' Rhythm Records and the label has just announced that the first single from it to be serviced to radio will the easy grooving ‘Magnetic’. With an urban swagger, which is infectious in the extreme, this is a track that is sure to dominate the airwaves for some considerable time.
‘Speechless’ will feature smooth jazz heavyweights such as Dave Koz, Paul Brown, Najee, and Nate Harasim. Not only that, the much anticipated title track will include vocals from the up and coming Maxine Hardcastle.
The CD will hit the streets on March 27th so check back here soon for a complete review.
