Review by Adam Jones - MUSIC FARMER 5
Ascending to New Heights in Jazz Fusion
Groovy Stairs, the latest release from the prolific jazz guitarist OMER B, is nothing short of a celestial experience. This feel-good, inspirational instrumental jazz track showcases the incredible talents of not only Omer B, but also an ensemble of amazing players. With its groovy drums, upbeat keyboard, soaring guitar hook, and heavenly trumpet solo, Groovy Stairs will undoubtedly find its place among the classics of jazz fusion.
Omer B, known for his eclectic musical background that spans Rock, Pop, Blues, Gospel, Funk, and Jazz, has truly outdone himself with this collaboration. The ensemble of musicians includes piano virtuoso Lorena Patricia Ramirez Ruiz, horn maestro Denise Cianfagna, rhythmic powerhouse Andrea Ciaccio on drums, bass sensation Marvin Masok, and the enchanting Adi B on flute. Together, they create a sound that is both nostalgic yet refreshingly innovative.
The track opens with the dynamic duo of Andrea Ciaccio's groovy drums and Lorena Patricia Ramirez Ruiz's upbeat keyboard, immediately setting the stage for a captivating musical journey. Omer B's main guitar hook enters, echoing the melodic sensibilities of groups like the Pat Metheny Group and the John Mayer Trio. His deft touch on the guitar sends listeners on an emotional rollercoaster, effortlessly weaving between intricate melodies and cascading harmonies.
