-

Get ready to groove with Dr. Leigh Pilzer , the Washington, D.C. baritone sax powerhouse who proves that jazz is meant to be a living, breathing party, not a dusty museum piece. Described as a pure force of nature with a gruff, punchy, and assertive sound, Leigh brings a heavy dose of soulful grit to the stage. She has traded licks with the legendary Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and even arranged horns for local legends like Chuck Brown and Eva Cassidy , and now she is bringing that deep, soulful swagger front and center with her vibrant new album, Keep Holding On. This record is a masterclass in pure, undeniable groove, packed with plenty of attitude, low-end bark, and raw energy that blues fans will instantly appreciate. Keep Holding On strikes the perfect balance between paying respect to the jazz heritage and absolutely cutting loose, making it an essential, high-energy addition to your playlist.   🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Keep Holding On by Leigh ...

Gel Production artist: Manu Lanvin - Man On A Mission - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Man On A  Mission, by Manu Lanvin and it's cool and gritty. Opening with blues rocker, Just Need Me, Manu Lanvin on vocal and guitar belts out a loosely assembled blues with real grit.  With a modified Latin beat, complimented by Raphael Chassin on drums and percussion, Nicolas Bonniere on Moog bass, and Axel Bauer on guitar I really like this opener. Change My Ways is a soulful ballad with strong vocals by Lanvin, paced by Bennett Holland, bass by Laurent Vernerey and Karim Bouazza on drums and the warm horn work of Malcom Strachan and Athol Ransome. Very nice. Savigny-Sur-Orge is a solid radio track with a memorable melody, with lead vocal and guitar by Lanvin, with Chassin on drums, Vernerey on bass, Holland on keys, and Bonniere on Melotron. Saving Angel is a tight rocker with a Keith Richards guitar edge. Lanvin on vocal backed by Julie Layse, BJ Scott, Chantel and Steve Kashala one of my favorites on the release. Pop rocker, Make It Right has a snappy beat with Lanvin on vocal and drums and flashing some real cool rocking riffs on guitar. Ahmed Mouici on backing vocals, Holland on piano, Bellanger on bass and Bonniere on drums, and super break in the set. Wrapping the release is Une Nuit sung in French. A smooth ballad, featuring Lanvin on vocal and featuring Bako Mikaelian on harmonica and Holland on piano is a solid closer.
