The latest release from this keyboardist
is loaded with a lot of syncopated rhythms, nice arrangements, and
some good musical friends on board to make it interesting. You may
have heard some of these tunes on the Weather Channel in the past
month, and wondered who it was. There are fourteen new cuts here
for this Nuance recording artist.
“Groove Detective” is a great one to kick Timeless
World off. It is a catchy number with a lot of
syncopated riffs that make Geith’s keys sound both lively
and light. The repeating riffs make this one you will remember
for some time. The title track comes early and picks up where
the first track leaves off. The sax interlay of Fred Scerbo is
a nice touch, as is Matt Marshak’s guitar. Geith’s
keyboard spends much of the time in the upper register, which
adds to the overall appeal. “Waves of Life” has a
driving back beat which keeps it going while acoustic guitar
is brought in for effect. One of the favorites has to be “Morning
Starlight” with its lively piano and more guitar mixed
in. The keys stay light while the cords don’t come across
too heavy. It is a natural lead in for “Restless Heart” as
it picks up the pace even more. The driving back beat of the
drums continues throughout while combining some nice sax work
again by Scerbo. This one has a great hook, and is one I know
you’ll like. Both Sax and piano play off each other as
this one comes to a close.
“Have I Told You Lately?” is a cover song of the Rod
Stewart classic. It comes across so reflective and slower that you
don’t realize what song it is until the chorus comes across.
There is a great mix of piano and sax on “Zero Gravity.” It
reminds me of the opening cut, and has excellent phrasing. Geith
tickles the ivories here throughout, and closes with some great sax
work again. “Nice to Meet You” incorporates an infectious
hook as well as nice touches of both sax and guitar. The pace slows
down somewhat for the reflective “I Will Remember You.” This
one runs deep with romantic chords and a nice melody. The pace quickens
in “Sweet Sensation.” A lot of the things that make this
disc so good are rolled into this one. The keys continue to be lively
without ever really bogging down. “Every Moment Everyday” is
another favorite. Just be careful not to be behind the wheel when
you crank this one up. This one says “go” from the beginning
with its driving back beat. Geith’s lively keys float over
that driving beat for the most part until he kicks it up a notch.
The chorus has a catchy hook and finishes well. I think I’ll
have to hit the repeat button here. The disc finishes up with a track
called “So Many Days.” This one slows the pace down and
is more pronounced in its delivery. Marshak’s guitar can be
heard here in the background. It is more chord oriented than most
of the previous cuts and ends up a nice one to go out with.
I really like what Geith has to say here. His piano stays light
throughout and he brings a lot of new music in. There is only one
cover tune, and the rest is new material. The mixing of additional
instruments adds just enough to keep it interesting. I hope you can
find a copy and enjoy this one soon. |
