Jacque Lamont Harenberg - Melodic Caravan (2019)

If you dig the saxophone sound, you will enjoy Jacque's fresh original music and arrangements. Smooth Jazz, Funky Dance Grooves, World Music, Instrumentals and a couple of vocal performances by Alexandra Harenberg are infused into this unique and original music project. Jacque plays all of the instruments on this album including his Keilwerth SX90R Tenor Saxophone. The Trumpets, Trombones, Bari, Alto and Soprano sax sounds were created using a Akai EWI5000 electronic wind instrument, and some of the piano, bass, guitar and synth sounds also. The drums and percussion were also programmed and played by Jacque. Unless otherwise noted, all of the bass guitar and acoustic piano parts were created using a Yamaha-Motif XS. All songs were composed, recorded, mixed and mastered at the Jacohla Music Studio located in central Ohio. Special thanks to the following musical guests including: bassist Jay Luis for his bass lines on "A Walk in the Country" and also his bass solo on "Hang Loose." Keyboardist Jeff Davis for his Clavinet and Hammond Organ solos on "Funky Syncopations" and "Hang Loose." Female vocalist Alexandra Harenberg sings the lead on "Funky Syncopation" and a performs a captivating rendition of Benoit Jutras's "Propel."
