Kenney Polson, For Lovers Only | The Vinyl Anachronist<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What kind of music do you play when you\u2019re looking for a little romance? When I was much younger, my choice was usually The Beatles because if you didn\u2019t like them, well, there\u2019s the door. This just isn\u2019t going to work out. Then again, I\u2019m a music snob\/dork when it comes to such things which probably explains why I didn\u2019t have the same rep with the women as someone like, oh, I don\u2019t know, <\/span>Eric Franklin Shook<\/a>. I always imagined the correct choice was something akin to R&B, maybe some cool jazz. Those amorous strategies come to mind when I listen to <\/span>Kenney Polson<\/a>\u2018s new album, <\/span>For Lovers Only<\/em>. These \u201ccool\u201d tracks from the Pacific Northwest-based saxophone player are designed for one thing\u2013to get you and someone else in the mood. Hopefully.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Kenney Polson is the type of jazz musician who\u2019s been all over the world\u201350 countries by his count\u2013and he creates a much more sophisticated blend of cool jazz by adding elements of Latin music, classical, New Age and gospel (hmmm, maybe not a wise approach under these circumstances). His saxophone style, which re-defines the word <\/span>sultry<\/em>, is probably exactly as you imagine. You won\u2019t hear angry horn blasts or feverish solos, but a strict adherence to melody. Is this your thing? Wait just a moment before you answer.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Kenney Polson has stacked the deck with some amazing sidemen for these mostly original tracks including guitarist Bruce Conte and keyboardist Roger Smith from <\/span>Tower of Power<\/a>, trumpeter Larry Gittens from <\/span>Kool & the Gang<\/a> <\/span>and trombonist Fred Wesley from <\/span>Parliament\/Funkadelic<\/a>. He\u2019s thrown in more jazz veterans such as guitarist Phil Upchurch, pianist Tom Grant and bassist\/vocalist Michael Henderson. These are, after all, guys who have played with everyone from <\/span>Miles Davis<\/a> <\/span>to <\/span>Stevie Wonder<\/a>. As Polson describes, <\/span>For Lovers Only<\/em> <\/span>is a chance for him to call in favors from his good friends in the industry in order to make the ultimate cool jazz\/R&B album of all time.<\/p>\n

Are you still unsure if this is your thing? Think about this, audiophiles\u2013For Lovers Only<\/em> <\/span>was recorded in some of the most famous studios in the US\u2013Bakersfield Recording Studios, Mr. Z Studios, TwinLab Recording and more. It was all mastered by none other than <\/span>Bernie Grundman<\/a>. Ah, I have your attention now! <\/span>For Lovers Only<\/em> <\/span>sounds absolutely fantastic, as full and rich as it gets. If you\u2019re an audiophile looking to get lucky\u2013insert your favorite oxymoron joke here\u2013then Kenney Polson may become your new BFF.<\/p>\n
