Alex Pinna - Solid Bus Rhodes

Review by Jim Young

Alex Pinna's album, Solid Bus Rhodes, is a refreshing take on contemporary jazz. The album features Pinna's virtuosic skills on the Rhodes piano, accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians. The album is a fusion of jazz, funk, and soul, and is a testament to Pinna's versatility as a musician.

The album kicks off with the upbeat and funky "Electricity," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features Pinna's nimble fingers on the Rhodes, accompanied by a funky bassline and tight drumming. The album then transitions to the soulful "I Can't Stop," which showcases Pinna's ability to convey emotion through his playing.

The album's standout track is "Solid Bus," which features a catchy melody and a driving rhythm section. Pinna's Rhodes playing is at its best on this track, with his improvisations weaving seamlessly in and out of the melody. The track also features a standout saxophone solo by guest musician, Bob Franceschini.
