Afro-Cuban Jazz/World Beat Jazz

New improvisational music from from the East Los Angels band. While continuing to rework jazz standards the band offers some new directions with the songs "Lost One" (based on John Coltrane's A Love Supreme) and "Give A Little More Love" both of which could be considered "protest" songs as they deal with some of our society's problems, which is not common for a jazz band to do, but is something that is needed if we are to make jazz viable again. If you are looking for something "NEW" this is it!!!!! From the first note until the last this is a journey you don't want to miss. If you like Afro-Cuban drumming, jazz, rock guitar, vocals, reeds and keys this CD is for you!!!!!

The Steven McGill Project is on fire burnig through some old favorites that will keep you dancig and feeling good. From the opening melody you will begin a musical journey through East L.A. that you won't want to end!!!

"Kujichagulia" is a new direction for the band. This album features eight jazz standards and three original tunes. Past recordings were almost always composed of original compositions. In addition this recording places the work of percussionist Steven McGill at the center of each tune either on the vibraphone, his Conga drums or in a few cases behind the piano. This provides for a more focused sound and direction for the music. If you are a percussion fan this the album for you. If you are as jazz fan this is the album for you. If you are a fan of good music this is the album for you. There are not many percussionist out there you can give you what The Steven McGill Project does!!!!!!!!!!!!!
