Radioindy, Patrick Charles “Cite Soleil”

Take off your shoes and relax. “Cité Soleil” by Patrick Charles is a smooth jazz CD with an appealing Caribbean flair.

The music on the CD is nicely composed, and nicely showcases Patrick’s outstanding drumming as well as the talents of the other first-rate jazz musicians on the CD. Thru recording quality and production provide a high quality, clear jazz recording. Lyrics are minimal in this CD, but in one song, “Citè Soleil” Patrick utilizes his native tongue to deliver a message, along with an excellent rhythmic groove. “Kush” features some outstanding jazz piano, muted horn, and sensual female spoken messages, along with the CD’s trademark strong rhythmic groove ground on Charles’ drum work. The last song on the CD entitled “Charlene,” is a beautiful piece of music, which emotionally portrays the love Charles has for his sister. The listener feels the emotional message of the song through the beautiful instrumental piano work. If you enjoy jazz music, and CDs where you can feel the soul of a real jazz musician, this CD is for you.
