Vocalist/violinist Azhaar Safar (also known for fronting Sirius B) returns with an album inspired by journeys through Latin America with ‘Original Love’. The bright and breezy ‘Gypsy’ is a fresh, uplifting blend of bluesy jazz, the soulful ‘Original Love’ was produced by Snowboy and has a Hutson/Marvin Gaye feel in the groove while the late 70’s Latin/Fusion vibe of ‘Down To Earth’ allows Azhaar’s carefree vocal style to shine. The funkier ‘Popoyo’ has a great live band feel, the infectious, sassy ‘Too Much’ has killer organ stabs pulsing behind the south American rhythm and is probably the track of the album while ‘Gaia’ has a fascinating blend of violin, vocals and bop that works well. Good 9 track set of multi-faceted jazz.
