Celebrating a remarkably prolific three decades as a recording artist, versatile saxophonist Mekiel Reuben infuses his infectiously exotic, rhythmically eclectic latest album SOMETHING LIKE THAT with a multitude of exciting influences. Starting with the driving R&B of his hometown Chicago and the explosive grooves he picked up touring internationally with Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm, Reuben's journey here includes alternating sultry and percussive calypso, Latin and reggae vibes from his years in St. Croix, Smooth Jazz (via a a lead single paying homage to Boney James and Kirk Whalum) and a passionate tribute to a Wayne Shorter classic. Lively and engaging from start to finish, the perfect set list for jazz lovers!
