Jazz Ruler Type: Fusion
Performance: 4
Sound: 3
Score: 74
O’s Notes: Trombonist, pianist, vocalist and composer Dr. Mike Bogle, a University of North Texas alum injects a dose of funk into Let There Be Light, his latest release. That groove is most notable on “Eat Your Vitamins” featuring bassist Buddy Mohmed, drummer Harrell Bosarge, Andy Barrus on steel pans, Dana Sudborough, vibraphone, and Bogle on trombone. Mohmed stands out with a rousing solo on the opener, “Voyager’s Dream” and the quintet comes together nicely on the title track.
