Our Take

Phil Ranelin's "Portrait In Blue" is an album that doesn't just break boundaries, it turns them into confetti and throws a party with it. From the moment the opening track hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. Ranelin effortlessly blends jazz, funk, and soul in a way that feels both timeless and fresh. It's like taking a trip back in time to the golden era of music, but with a modern twist that keeps you on your toes.

The instrumentation on this album is nothing short of stunning. Ranelin's trombone skills are on full display, weaving in and out of the melodies with precision and grace. The rest of the band is equally impressive, creating a sound that is lush, vibrant, and full of energy. Each track feels like a journey, taking you on a musical rollercoaster that you never want to end.

But it's not just the music that stands out on "Portrait In Blue". Ranelin's lyrics are thought-provoking and poetic, touching on themes of love, loss, and longing. His voice is smooth and soulful, drawing you in with every word.

Overall, "Portrait In Blue" is a masterpiece of an album that demands to be listened to. It's a bold statement from a musician who knows exactly what he's doing, and isn't afraid to take risks. Do yourself a favor and give this album a spin - you won't regret it.
