Bruce Mattson - Vintage Modern (CD)

Vintage Modern, the latest album of original music from artist Bruce Mattson, celebrates the genetic imprint of funky New Orleans R&B within virtually all music built on groove. There's plenty of old-school NOLA swagger on this album, but there's more. From the hard-driving groove and cool jazz reflections of "Electric Rodeo Jam", to the infectious soul/gospel sway of "While the River Rolls By", to the barreling freight train that develops out of the swing intro to "J Train", Bruce interweaves a diverse mosaic of styles and feels that makes for a great end-to-end album listening experience.
