Our Take
Our Take
Cameron Graves' debut album "Planetary Prince" is a thrilling cosmic journey through the depths of jazz fusion. Imagine if Sun Ra and Herbie Hancock had a lovechild who then teamed up with a group of intergalactic musicians to create a soundtrack for a space odyssey – that's the vibe you get from this mind-bending record.
From the moment you press play, Graves grabs you by the ears and launches you into a swirling vortex of complex rhythms, otherworldly melodies, and blistering solos. The opening track, "Satania Our Solar System," sets the tone with its blistering piano lines and thunderous drumming, giving you a taste of the sonic rollercoaster that lies ahead.
Tracks like "El Diablo" and "Adam & Eve" showcase Graves' masterful piano skills, weaving in and out of intricate time signatures with ease. The energy on these tracks is infectious, with each musician pushing the boundaries of their instruments to create a sound that is truly out of this world.
But it's not all high-octane jazz fusion – there are moments of quiet reflection too, like the beautiful ballad "Scorpio's View." Graves shows his softer side here, letting the melody speak for itself without the need for flashy solos.
Overall, "Planetary Prince" is a powerhouse of an album that will leave you gasping for breath and reaching for the repeat button. Cameron Graves has truly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz fusion. Bravo, Mr. Graves, bravo.
