DESCRIPTION
From the sunny shores of Miami to Studio Del Sol in Boca Raton, Fat Produce proudly presents their sophomore LP, "Soulful Days." While making a mark on the jazz scene, "Soulful Days" draws from this instrumental guitar trio's live set, encompassing their unique take on deep cuts and top hits ranging from Isaac Hayes, Boogaloo Joe Jones, Toots & The Maytals, Melvin Sparks, Sister Nancy, and more. The core duo, comprising Addison Rifkind on guitar and Michael Duffy on drums, is joined by Nestor Del Prado on upright bass, bringing a fresh twist to the works of these legendary artists, both within and beyond the realm of soul jazz. From the straightforward version of Boogaloo Joe Jones' "No Way" to the more energetic rendition of "Gatur Bait," by the lesser-known New Orleans funk group The Gaturs, Fat Produce elevates their sound to the next level with a variety of skillfully crafted arrangements. With Rifkind's ability to capture the melodic elements onto guitar as on Isaac Hayes "Hung Up On My Baby" and adapting Toots' vocal on "54-46 Was My Number," to Duffy's creative interpretations, yet staying true to the pocket, on the mash-up "90% of Me Is You/Bam Bam" and soul jazz classic "Texas Twister" by Melvin Sparks, "Soulful Days" is expertly arranged for listeners to enjoy again and again. Cut live to 8-tracks, this album is authentic and true to the rising sound of Fat Produce.
