Billy Jenkins - Suburbia
Review by Sam Collins
Suburbia, the latest album by Billy Jenkins, is a refreshing take on jazz music. The album is a mix of different genres, including blues, funk, and rock, and features a range of instruments, including electric guitar, saxophone, and trumpet.
The album opens with the track "Suburbia," a funky tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The electric guitar and saxophone work together to create a sound that is both energetic and groovy. The album then moves into "The Ballad of Bob," a slower, more introspective track that showcases Jenkins' ability to create beautiful melodies.
Throughout the album, Jenkins' guitar playing is a standout feature. His solos are intricate and soulful, and he is able to switch seamlessly between different genres and styles. The album also features some great horn arrangements, with the saxophone and trumpet adding depth and texture to the music.
