Song of the Month

A slow train to nowhere... In this song Tommy compiles a slow jazz cut revolution. He is not trying to reinvent the wheel of the jazz subgenre like some of the classics, his song simply showcases a deep soulful blowing style on tenor with the angels melancholy. Tommy is able to capture the essence of the vocal masters, and is reminiscent of the inimitable style of the late Jon Lucien on his timeless track "Endless Love". This song surprises with soulful guitar and piano lines, however it isn't just the track, the song just cruises, and the unhurried acoustic guitar playing and piano over the rhythm proves to be the clincher. The slick layer of musicality reads like a piece out of the Stevie Wonder playbook. To summarise, this song is great value for your time; yeah, it's good music, but what kind of minor key twelve bar blues can fail to connect with a certain mood. If smooth bluesy jazz tickles your fancy, the fine grooves of slow train will prove to be just the tonic.
