Richard Niles BandZilla - Bandzilla Rises
Review by Ana Teresa Valdez Chavez
Bandzilla Rises is a magnificent album by Richard Niles BandZilla that features a unique blend of jazz, funk, rock, and orchestral elements. The album is a testament to the musical prowess of Richard Niles and his band, who have created a sound that is both complex and accessible.
The album is a masterclass in musical arrangement, with each track featuring a rich tapestry of instruments that seamlessly blend together to create a fluid and dynamic sound. The opening track, "Bandzilla Rises," sets the tone for the album with its explosive horns and driving rhythm section.
Other standout tracks on the album include "I Can't Believe It's You," which features a soulful vocal performance by guest vocalist, Lalah Hathaway, and "Rhythm of the Night," which features a funky groove and a blistering guitar solo.
