Songs
for the Soul [AJ0191]
Miles Griffith’s vocalese
roars alongside organist Radam Schwartz’s deep grooves
while the assemblage of virtuosic talent in the musical
tour de force ‘Conspiracy for Positivity’ leaves
no musical note or nuance unexplored. Songs for the
Soul are really songs from the soul as Radam, Miles,
and crew, unearth their deepest emotions and lay bare their
passion. The soulful wails of Griffith’s vocal acrobatics
and Radam’s inspirational backbone are accompanied
by a unique set of compositions and poignant lyrics that
take on strength and vitality which grab the listener and
command attention.
In
this world where so much seems to be so wrong, from war,
to economics to natural disasters, absorbing the energy
of Griffith along with Radam and his ensemble is a positive
way of dealing with whatever is bothering you.
