Our Take

Bristol-based jazz musician Kevin Figes is back with his latest album, "The Common & Other Short Stories," and let me tell you, this isn't your grandma's elevator music. Figes expertly blends elements of contemporary jazz with a touch of funk and avant-garde, resulting in a musical concoction that is both inventive and accessible.

The album kicks off with the title track, "The Common," a jaunty tune that sets the tone for what's to come. Figes' saxophone skills are on full display here, as he weaves effortlessly through complex melodies and intricate rhythms. It's clear from the get-go that Figes is a master of his craft, and he's not afraid to show it.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Raindrops," a slow-burning ballad that showcases Figes' sensitive side. The haunting melody and evocative lyrics will transport you to a rainy day in Bristol, feeling all the feels. It's a delicate masterpiece that proves Figes is more than just a talented saxophonist – he's a storyteller, too.

Overall, "The Common & Other Short Stories" is a delightful journey through the mind of a musical genius. Figes' innovative approach to jazz is refreshing and boundary-pushing, making this album a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their sonic horizons. Kevin Figes, we salute you.
