Walter Bishop, Jr - Soul Village
Review by Fence Posts
Soul Village, the 1977 album from pianist Walter Bishop Jr., is a soulful and sophisticated collection of jazz tracks that showcase the artist's exceptional talent and versatility. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, each performed with a level of skill and artistry that is truly impressive.
From the opening track, "Soul Village," listeners are drawn into Bishop's world of rich melodies and complex harmonies. The title track sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is filled with dynamic and engaging jazz tunes that are sure to please even the most discerning jazz aficionado.
Bishop's piano playing is the undeniable star of the album, with his virtuosic solos and intricate chord progressions providing the backbone for each track. However, he is also joined by a talented group of musicians, including drummer Jimmy Cobb and saxophonist Rene McLean, who add depth and texture to the already impressive sound.
