Jonathan Scales Fourchestra: “The Mad”
Every song title on this album starts with the letter ‘M’. Why the hell not? The more important question is: can you step to a steelpan-driven jazz fusion album? Some instruments struggle beneath the burden of guilt by association. The steelpan drum might fill you with favorable daydreams of daiquiri-spent nights on la playa at Sandals. But are you ready to hear it as a serious instrument playing serious music? Ready or not, here comes the Jonathan Scales Fourchestra. Our highlighted track “The Mad” uses the otherworldly timbre of the drum to pour a stranger brew than your average beach cocktail. Drink it up!
