Kite Hill

Loving this so much

Kite Hill with it's flowing melodies and Latin under pining will light up your house.It's sound will make you feel like soaring. Some of the tunes feel like a rainy day by a warm fire.Sure it's jazz but with an interesting sound all it's own.This is the first album of James Moody's original music. His Electric and acoustic guitars have a warmness to them. With all the other first class players makes this a treat ..

My husband and I know of James from our summer visits to Catalina Island. Don't confuse "Guitarist" James Moody with the saxophonist of the same name. This is a new and exciting artist on the Jazz scene. "Kite Hill" is a great record! I bought his first album, "Beyond the Borders", and I couldn't wait to hear his new music. James has written songs in a style that reminds me of "old school" Crusaders, Larry Carlton, and Chick Correa. (There's even a touch of Wes Montgomery in there). It's jazzy, funky, and bluesy, with a great new modern sound. The musicians on this record are fantastic. They must be top studio musicians because their names appear on other albums in my collection. It's inspiring to listen to over and over again. "Two thumbs up!"
