Gideon King & City Blog Bring Jazz Fusion To The Forefront with 'City Blog'

Anthony Avina

Sometimes music can do so much more than capture a mood or a feeling. Sometimes it can be so transcendent, that it can capture the soul of an entire city. That's what has happened here with this album from Gideon King & City Blog, titled City Blog. This album brilliantly captures the ecclectic tastes and sophistication of New York City in jazzy tones and a modern flair that speaks of true artistry. A combination of artists such as Steely Dan and Stevie Wonder, this jazz/alt fusion creation is unlike anything we've heard in a long time. The band is composed of some incredible talent, from a bassist who's worked with Daft Punk and even the Saturday Night Live band, to a vocalist who actually has performed with Steely Dan. This collection of incredible musicians and singers have blended their talent to help Gideon further his love and passion of jazz rock fusion. These songs are no mere piano bar creations, however. No, when you listen to this album, one get's the sense that they are both living in the height of the jazz band era and walking down the streets of modern day New York City. Songs such as "See In Double", "Just Play" and the title track, "City Blog", this work of art is the perfect combination of vintage and modern jazz rock fusion. Proving that it isn't hard to bridge the gap between age, genre or any other differing characteristic, Gideon King & City Blog's City Blog album is an instant hit, and is something everyone should be listening to now. The smooth vocals when combined with the steady, rhythmic beats is something not to be missed, and artists such as this only come around once in a generation. Be sure to pick up your copy of this album today!
