Disc 1 █ █ marries hip-hop with Old School soul/funk, most █ █ notably on ôPoppinÆ,ö ôItÆs Gotta Be,ö and █ █ ôChange the World,ö which ride AndersonÆs █ █ in-your-face Æ76 Jazz Bass. For Disc 2, he █ █ stretches out on his Conklin 7- and 9-strings. █ █ The results range from jazz-guitar-like █ █ excursions to sheer fretless bedlam on ôPercy and █ █ Me,ö with guest Percy Jones. ûChris Jisi, █ █ Bass Player Magazine, April, 2006. █ █ █ █ █ █ àDisc 1 of the two CD set sounds like an ôold █ █ school house party,à complete with █ █ foundation-shaking jams in the mode of █ █ Slave/P-Funk/Brick/Graham Central Station, etc., █ █ and basement sweatbox style slow jams in the mode █ █ of the Miracles. Disc 2 is an exercise in the █ █ construction and deconstruction of jazz designed █ █ for the people. In the tributes to both Victor █ █ Wooten and Jaco Pastorius, Sandy (Tha Soul █ █ Brother) sounds exactly like Wooten and █ █ Pastorius. If there is only one album you are █ █ gonna buy in 2006, MAKE THIS THE ONE YOU BUY █ █ (nuff said). Bob Davis, Soul Patrol, May, 2006. █ █ █ █ àthe heretofore unknown Rob & Tha Soul BrotherÆs █ █ self-produced debut displays a pair of R&B █ █ artists who are more than ready for wide █ █ exposure. WeÆre simply flabbergasted with the █ █ professionalism, upbeat attitude, and pure funk █ █ and soul delivered on this locally produced █ █ two-disc set. So refreshingly original and █ █ melodic are these 23 tracks that it boggles the █ █ mind. Where else can you find instrumental tracks █ █ that are tributes to legendary bassists in ôJPö █ █ and ôLoose Strings.ö Other highlights include the █ █ autobiographical ôRob & Tha Soul Brother,ö █ █ ôCosmic Soul,ö and ôPoppinÆö another shocking █ █ aspect of this recording is the quality of the █ █ musicians featured. Tha Soul Brother is indeed a █ █ world-class bassist, and his work throughout the █ █ disc, not just on the instrumentals, proves his █ █ chops. Vocalist Rob has a way with a song and a █ █ lyric, and his sometimes romantic lyrics tug at █ █ the heart with actual passion and yearning, a █ █ real change from the ôhey baby, you look fine, █ █ letÆs do itö sentiment. Ron & Tha Soul Brother █ █ merge modern hip-hop beats and recording █ █ techniques with old school funk, soul, and even █ █ jazz to create an original sound that defies the █ █ listener not to get up and move. This stuff is █ █ the bomb! Demolition, Good Times. █
