Jeff Cascaro - Beale Street (2012) ***** Estels.

Released 2012-02-24 on HerzogRecords

His new work 'The Other Man', recorded with the help of his trusted team around the producer Ulf Kleiner, finds Jeff back on the trail of his original soul drive, turning inwards to find space for the essence to come alive. The album does indeed deliver a sound that is both warm and earthy, a sound that doesn't try to convince with stylized details but with a majestic minimalism. Rhodes and Hammond organ touches to the funky sparseness of the guitar, the soulful groove of the rhythm section and Jeff plays all brass solos by the way. But it's always Jeff's Voice, which takes the centre stage.
