Bill Bonaparte - Bill Bonaparte And The Steel Drum
Review by Sophia Lemon
Bill Bonaparte And The Steel Drum is a lively album that showcases the musical talents of Bill Bonaparte, a skilled steel drum player. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are infused with the infectious rhythms and melodies of the Caribbean.
From the opening track, "Island Breeze," listeners are transported to a tropical paradise, with Bonaparte's steel drum leading the way. The album features a variety of styles, from the reggae-tinged "Rasta Jam" to the upbeat "Soca Dance." Bonaparte's virtuosity on the steel drum is evident throughout the album, as he effortlessly weaves complex rhythms and melodies together.
In addition to Bonaparte's impressive playing, the album also features a talented backing band, including bassist Tony Williams and drummer Carl Palmer. The musicians work together seamlessly, creating a cohesive sound that is both energetic and joyful.
