O’s Notes: Keyboard wizard Mark Adams played with Roy Ayers back in the day and that is the groove we hear on This Is Neo-Soul. The riffs are catchy, danceable, and radio friendly. Take a step back to the 1970s with a New York City urban groove that was intoxicating. The roster of musicians is vast and includes artists that were a part of the scene including Chris DeCarmine (d), Dave Mullins (sax), Monte Croft (vibes), Steve Kroon (perc), and Kenyatta Beasley (t).
