Carl Schlosser Quartet Featuring Gérard Badini - Texas Sound

Review by Joshua DeGrasse-Baumann

The Carl Schlosser Quartet has teamed up with Gérard Badini to produce an album that is nothing short of exceptional. Texas Sound, as it is titled, is a fusion of jazz, blues, and rock that is sure to get your feet tapping.

From the opening track, "Blues for Texas," the quartet sets the tone for an album that is full of energy and soul. Schlosser's guitar work is outstanding, and Badini's saxophone adds a layer of depth that takes the music to another level.

Tracks like "Texas Shuffle" and "Jazzin' in Texas" showcase the quartet's ability to seamlessly blend different genres of music. The rhythm section, consisting of bassist Tom Bohn and drummer Tim Solook, provides a solid foundation for the rest of the band to build upon.

But it is the chemistry between Schlosser and Badini that really sets this album apart. Their interplay on tracks like "Texas Blues" and "Texas Funk" is a joy to listen to, and it is clear that they are both masters of their respective instruments.

Summary by Joshua DeGrasse-Baumann

Texas Sound is a must-listen for any fan of jazz, blues, or rock music. The Carl Schlosser Quartet and Gérard Badini have created an album that is both timeless and contemporary, and it is sure to be enjoyed for years to come.
