‘The History Of Paul Hardcastle’, out soon on Trippin N Rhythm is yet another celebration of the groove that has garnered an entire sub-genre of contemporary jazz. Hardcastle has the ability to take a single vibe then wring every once from it. ‘19’ is a case in point and another is ‘Bird Island’, traces of which can be found on the enormously compelling ‘Echoes Rising’ that launches the album in the USA as the first radio single.
Quite simply this is wonderful music from a truly timeless artist and comes highly recommended.
