Record of the Week: Welcome

Welcome

By Don Glori

Welcome - the debut album from Don Glori – is a kaleidoscopic free dive into Don Glori's world, featuring eight recordings of revolving jazz,Brazilian, soul and funk inspired compositions spinning together and blurringinto a genre bending slew of new music.

There is an intangible element of joy andconnection sitting just outside the grasp of description or definition that canbe felt throughout this album. Each song on Welcome captures the spirit and irrepressible energy thatunderpins the core of the Don Glori project.

Layers of vocal harmonies oscillate next topulsating samba rhythms while spiritual overtones permeate throughout. Congasand percussion form a holy union with the drum kit, co-piloted by Don Glori’s own bass lines. Saxophones, horns and flutes flutter inbetween the musical canyons carved out by the piano and vibraphone. When youpress all of these forces together you can start to feel the intangible; theintrinsic human elements existing in the creases. The sweat, excitement andwillingness of each musician to dedicate their spirit and take risks on everytrack of the album.
