True Loves\u2019 <em>Sunday Afternoon<\/em> is a 21<sup>st<\/sup> century answer to that kind of deep-grooving music. This eight-man outfit knows how to lay down a groove and a melody, and they keep the excitement high. You\u2019ll hear this and feel a strong impulse to climb behind the wheel of one of those land yachts from 1972, and head out onto the gritty city streets.<\/p>\n<p>The players are all top-notch; the large group\u2019s lineup includes sax man Skerik, a foundling member of Garage a Trois. This Seattle outfit is more about the ensemble than its impressive individual components; songs like \u201cDid it Again\u201d all but insist that you lift the needle up and give them another spin.<\/p>\n<p>The virtuosity and freedom of jazz, the intensity of soul, the rhythm of rock: they\u2019re all here, and on translucent blue vinyl, no less. An essential purchase, and my personal pick for the best among the uniformly superb albums covered in this, Musoscribe\u2019s first Vinyl Week in some time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have an appreciation for \u2013 heck, even an awareness of \u2013 the sort of kinetic soul jazz that formed the musical component of late \u201860s and early \u201870s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21273,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,42,49,65,69,73],"tags":[4589],"class_list":["post-21272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-instrumental","category-jazz","category-new-release","category-review","category-soul","category-vinyl","tag-true-loves","cat-40-id","cat-42-id","cat-49-id","cat-65-id","cat-69-id","cat-73-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21272"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21274,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21272\/revisions\/21274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
