Featuring funky sax-man Marcus Anderson, the appropriately titled ‘Grass Fed Funk’ from Smooth Jazz Therapy favourite Oli Silk is the latest radio single from Silk’s current album ‘In Real Life’ that, since its release earlier this year, has been making significant waves.
Given the quality of the music on offer that isn’t surprising with cases in point being the wonderfully ‘in the pocket’ ‘Dare To Dream’, ‘Looking Glass’ (that Oli shares with up and coming vocalist Rebecca Jade) and the moody ‘Actually Actually’ with Kim Scott on flute.
Equally compelling is ‘New Horizons’ for which Ilya Serov adds muted trumpet while maybe best of all is the up tempo ‘A Lil Pick Me Up’ where Carl Cox on sax really blows the doors off.
All in all ‘In Real Life’ is everything we have come to expect from this consummate purveyor of high end contemporary jazz and is as ready radio as can be.
