Rich Martinez - His Own Style

Review by Suzan Emami Yeganeh

Rich Martinez's album "His Own Style" is a refreshing take on contemporary jazz music. The album is a blend of smooth jazz, Latin jazz, and R&B, showcasing Martinez's versatility as a musician. Each track is meticulously arranged, with each instrument occupying its own space in the mix.

The album's opening track, "Soulful," sets the tone for what's to come. The track features Martinez's smooth saxophone playing, which is accompanied by a groovy bassline and a funky guitar riff. The album's title track, "His Own Style," is another standout track. It's a Latin jazz number that features a lively percussion section and Martinez's soaring saxophone solos.

One of the album's standout tracks is "Ain't No Sunshine." Martinez gives a fresh take on the classic Bill Withers track, infusing it with his own style. The track features a soulful vocal performance by Martinez, which is complemented by his saxophone playing.
