“Love and Rhythm”

Best Contemporary Instrumental Album

 

Love and Rhythm is a journey through a lifetime of diverse musical and personal inspirations that have shaped Blake Aaron as an artist.

Already rocketing out of the gate with numerous hits to the album’s list of accolades, even before its release, Love and Rhythm boasts lush, infectious melodies adorned with fiery, passionate horn section lines, hypnotic rhythms, and very sexy grooves.

Transitioning effortlessly between commercial radio hits and deeper tracks inspired by the love and respect, and in tribute to, a lifetime of diverse musical influences, Love and Rhythm features stellar performances from the best musicians in contemporary jazz, including legendary artists such as Bob Mintzer and Will Kennedy from the Yellowjackets.

If you can imagine a jazz festival with performances from artists such as George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Pat Metheny, Earth Wind and Fire, Bruno Mars, and the Yellowjackets on the same stage together, you can imagine Blake Aaron’s Love and Rhythm.
