专辑简介

Steppin’ Up is Reggie Young's new contemporary jazz project featuring tons of talent from the superbly polished award winning Darren Rahn ripping his tenor sax on the exciting title “Funk Avenue”, to the jazzy Tyrone Birkett on alto sax, who offers his bebop sounds on “Downtown” and “We Believe”. Also piano extremist Garnet Walters laces this project with melodic solos and warm color.

Now, ready to tackle the next phase in his musical career, Reggie Young releases this incredible cd with what some are already boasting to be his best project yet. “Steppin’ up” incorporates the iconic rich bluesy sounds of the 30’s with the more popular signature funk and jazz style of Reggie to create a brand new sound that everyone is talking about. This album paints an emotional yet musical picture of who Reggie is, encrypted with hidden political messages and passionate melodies that will penetrate and touch even the most novice of hearts. What better way to introduce oneself into the jazz community! Clearly, by Steppin’ Up.
