Babatunde Lea - Soul Pools
Review by Eunice
Soul Pools, the latest album by Babatunde Lea, is a captivating fusion of jazz, Afro-Cuban, and African rhythms. The album features a variety of talented musicians, including Mark Levine on piano, Patrice Rushen on keyboards, and Munyungo Jackson on percussion, among others.
The album's title track, "Soul Pools," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious groove and dynamic percussion. The track "Memories of You" showcases Lea's exceptional drumming skills, while "Spirits on the Nile" features a beautiful interplay between the piano and percussion.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Love's Parody," which features a soulful saxophone solo by Gary Bartz. The track has a laid-back, groovy feel that will have listeners tapping their feet and nodding their heads.
