Customer Reviews
Groovy, relaxed, playful and soulful. A must 'listen' to.
Impromp 2 are the L.A.-based duo Johnny Britt and Sean Thomas.
This is their forth album from the duo, whose distinctive sophisticated jazz tinged soul sound has brought them many fans.
They are joined by a bunch of amazing artists such as Sekou Bunch on bass, George Duke on fender rhodes/clavinet, Harvey Mason,Sr. on drums, the late Wayman Tisdale on bass, Wah Wah Watson on guitar, Marcus Miller and Freddie "Ready Freddie" Washington on bass.
Their return has brought us another top-drawer essential album for lovers of quality jazz/soul.
The title of the album is a statement from the duo. On the first track- which is the title track - a DJ asks the two musicians how "It Is What It Is" should be categorized: soul, jazz, funk...??
And Johnny and Sean reply, singing : "It Is What It Is".
This is an R&B/soul album that seamlessly draws from influences such as hip-hop, funk, R&B, neo-soul, pop, spoken word and jazz. These styles flow throughout the album, and can often be heard on the same song.
"Dance With U", "You're A Queen" and "I Wanna Know" are dancers that will appeal to the modern soul crowd.
"Good Thang" is a bright and breezy mid tempo dancer, their cover of Marvin Gaye's "Luv 2 Ball" is more uptempo than the original and the jazzier mid tempo "Mo Jazz" also works very nicely.
"It Is What It Is" is a nice mid tempo with a god hooks and the ballads "It Was Love" and "Keep Doin" are also good on this consistently good album with real, great instrumentation.
Overall, this is an formidable album of retro and modern jazz/soul grooves.
The album, after almost two years after its release (January 15, 2008), debuts at # 6 of the Billboard Top Jazz Albums.
Issue date : September 19, 2009.
So, as you can see, everything is possible, when it's the music that matters!
