SoulFunky

In the small pool of trumpets players in the smooth jazz genre Lin Rountree has carved
out a fresh and unique sound all his own and is a stand-alone when it comes to boldly
bringing out the funk and soul as his avors of choice. SoulFunky perfectly describes
what you nd between the folds here and Tree really revs things up not afraid to get
down and get dirty in this assemblage of grinding soul drenched movements.
This the follow-up to his highly successful Trippin debut, showcases the true essence
of who he is as an artist taking the music back to his roots and he speaks his truth loud
and clear for all to hear, generated from deep within, rich with character and
self-expression. This collection of powerful sides represents and embodies the musical
environment with which he is most comfortable, raw funk and soul.
Some of Lin s closest soul mates put their collective touches on the tracks,
complementary and at times daring, challenging him to travel to places he might not
have otherwise gone, with cameos from Julian Vaughn, Nils, Nicholas Cole, Demetrius
Nabors and Kim Scott among others. The interplay throughout is engaging and
infectious, the hooks bold and unpredictable and the 12 movements of this vehicle ask
that you to buckle in because SoulFunky is a ride that you ll not want to get o .
