Jazz Ruler Type: Fusion
Performance: 4
Sound: 4
Score: 58.5
O’s Notes: Kelso follows up his resounding debut with“Elementals, infusing a tad more fusion into their funky jazz vibe. Jeremy Ledbetter replaces Robi Botos on keys otherwise The Jazz Exiles remain intact. “Slack”, “Elementals Fire”, “Zig Zag” and the “Elementals Water” are highlights in a set that keeps the original fire burning and avoids the sophomore slump.
