The musician and man of the world known
simply as JaCee has released his new flagship LP record, “Risky
Luv,” with his crew of creativity called the Jags. The album has
been released on the Jacee Music Ltd. music label. With approximately
45 minutes' worth of excellent listening, “Risky Luv” by JaCee
and the Jags makes for a comprehensive introduction to this eclectic
musical mastermind from Massachusetts. It is standing proof that
JaCee knows exactly how music should be done, and a stunning reminder
that music done right just doesn't come around often enough, anymore.
The sheer talent showcased on “Risky
Luv” is staggering. JaCee's style changes from track to track like
Caribbean trade winds, proving him to be elastic in his tastes and
capabilities to an almost schizophrenic level. Throughout the record,
a consistent thread of absolute flawlessness and 60s-era cool
connects one song to the other.
Otherwise, JaCee's songs can be as
disparate as sea and sky. He recalls the verve-charged proto-punk
rock of The Kinks, and variously the cigarette-and-three-button suit
sound of Henry Mancini. He cha-chas into the Latin realms of bossa
nova, and bass-lines his way down into deep, groovy funk (a la Bill
Withers). He spends time in the gutter with a gritty, raw sound
reminiscent of Nick Cave, and somehow visits '80s synth pop in
between. Blues. Jazz. His incarnations are seemingly infinite. Most
of the compositions on “Risky Luv” are originals, but some
standards are also rendered in the Jags' own edgy fashion.
JaCee cites as main artistic influences
Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Henry Mancini, The Beatles, The Kinks,
and Frank Sinatra. He is joined on “Risky Luv” by his associated
masters of musicianship, the Jags. Their ranks on his new LP include
“The Inimitable” Paul Shoemaker playing keyboard and trumpet,
“Smokin'” John Squibb providing tenor saxophone, and Fitzy the
Fuzz-Electric Guitar.
“Risky Luv” by JaCee and the Jags
is available online worldwide.
