O’s Notes: Bassist Dave Sharp has a definitive popping signature that underscores Worlds; ten original songs that will make you want to move! Dave collected elements from all over the globe for this funky endeavor. The calypso beats of the opener “Sherhe” sets the stage for an energetic session that includes chants, B-3 funk, reggae, rap, African and Indian influences. That sounds like a mouthful but Sharp pulls it off in grand style. “Nu Africa” is sure to see radio play and Sharp helps out with three bonus radio edits!
