Our Take

Let's face it, jazz can be a bit like that weird cousin at family gatherings - you're never quite sure what to make of it, but dang if it isn't intriguing. Well, this latest offering from Bob Sheppard, John Beasley, Jasper Somsen, and Kendrick Scott is like that cousin showing up with a wild new haircut and some killer dance moves.

"The Fine Line" is a smorgasbord of musical styles, blending traditional jazz with a touch of funk and a sprinkle of Latin rhythms. It's like a musical gumbo - you never quite know what you're going to get, but it's always delicious. Sheppard's saxophone skills are on point, Beasley's piano playing is as smooth as butter, Somsen's bass lines are funky fresh, and Scott's drumming is the glue that holds it all together.

Tracks like "Groovin' High" and "Sarabande" will have you tapping your toes and nodding your head, while "The Fine Line" and "No Way Out" will take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget.

So, grab a glass of wine, put on your comfiest loungewear, and let Bob Sheppard, John Beasley, Jasper Somsen, and Kendrick Scott whisk you away on a jazzy adventure. Who knew that weird cousin could be so cool?
