Philip Bailey, cofounder and lead vocalist for pop superstars Earth, Wind & Fire, is set to release Soul on Jazz. Produced by the adventurous arranger/ saxophonist Bob Belden, EWF keyboardist/producer(s) Myron McKinley, Scott Kinsey and Bailey.
"I wanted to find the essence of what Philip is all about," Belden recalls. "He's a soulful singer, but he's also a jazz guy at heart. We tried to make a record that wasn't pretentious, that wasn't a throwback. Everyone involved has deep jazz credentials as well as experience in other kinds of music." |
CD: Soul On Jazz

Story Behind the Song
Bailey adds, "I think jazz, in its scope and in its depth, is the kind of music that I gravitate to for many reasons. Musically, it's limitless, and the character of the music is one that's secure, with a firm foundation. So you can sink your teeth into jazz and never exhaust your search for it."
Soul on Jazz features such outstanding jazz and contemporary jazz musicians as DJ Smash, guitarist John Hart, alto saxophonist Lou Marini, baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber, trumpeter Scott Wendholt, and keyboardists McKinley and Kinsey. Belden himself plays soprano on the opening track, the Weather Report gem "Indiscretions." Equally notable is the rhythmic support provided by guitarist Mike "Dino" Campbell, bassists Ira Coleman and David Dyson, percussionist Don Alias and drummer Billy Kilson.
