Album Review: CHIP WICKHAM - Shamal Wind

Chip Wickham's latest offering, "Shamal Wind," is a delightful sonic journey that combines elements of jazz, world music, and electronica into a harmonious blend that is as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot summer day.

From the opening track, "Shamal Wind," with its hypnotic flute melodies and pulsating rhythms, Wickham takes listeners on a musical adventure that is both vibrant and soothing. Each track seems to transport you to a different corner of the globe, from the bustling streets of Marrakech to the tranquil beaches of Bali.

The album's standout tracks include the groovy "Snake Eyes," which features a funky bassline that will have you tapping your feet in no time, and the dreamy "Soho Strut," with its laid-back vibes and breezy saxophone solos.

Wickham's masterful flute playing shines throughout the album, adding a touch of magic to each composition. His ability to seamlessly blend traditional and modern sounds is a testament to his talent as a musician.

Overall, "Shamal Wind" is a must-listen for fans of eclectic and soulful music.
