Rodney Block - Fantastic Beatz (2018)

Rodney Block brings funky rhythms, smooth vocals, hard bop, r&b, and hip hop elements to his latest creation, "Fantastic Beatz". The trumpet leads the way with smooth and moving solos on "Next Level Love" and "Charity Why Must You Go" (a tribute to the late Roy Hargrove) while keeping the vibe and hip grooves on tracks "My Love Ain't No Hustle" and "Ol' Skool Like Otis". This is a perfect album to relax or groove to at anytime.
