OLI SILK Discography :: 2000-2013 :: 4CD + Bonus Genre: Smooth Jazz / Contemporary Jazz / Piano
Country: USA Format: MP3, 320 kbps, CBR, Lame 3.98 from Lossless (за исключением указанных особо) Oli Silk (родился 7 марта 1979 года в Лондоне, Великобритания) - британский клавишник, продюсер и композитор работающий в стиле Smooth Jazz. Начал играть на клавишных в возрасте 5 лет, а брать уроки - в 11-летнем возрасте. В юношеские годы принимал участие в многочисленных шоу. Oli Silk нравилась музыка в стиле jazz и soul, и в последующем его манера игры всегда отражала эту любовь. В конце 1990-х он объединился с другом по колледжу Danny Sugar (бас-гитара) и они выпустили два альбома в jazz-funk дуэте "Sugar & Silk". В 2003 году он выступил продюсером и соавтором альбома саксофониста James Vargas, который был выпущен в следующем году на лейбле 'Trippin'N'Rhythm'. Оценив его талант, компания подписывает с Oli Silk контракт и в 2006 году выпускает дебютный компакт-диск 'So Many Ways'. В 2006 году Oli Silk сольно дебютировал на Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival, и в том же году получил звание "Лучший дебют года" от Smooth Jazz News magazine и от Art Good's Jazztrax.com. Кроме того, в том же году его песня "Easy Does It" достигла 19 позиции в Billboard’s R&R Smooth Jazz Chart. Следующего успеха добилась композиция "Chill Or Be Chilled" - в 2009 году она поднялась до 3 места в Billboard’s R&R Smooth Jazz Сhart, и по итогам года заняла 5 позицию в Billboard's Top Smooth Jazz Songs 2009 Сhart. В 2010 году Oli Silk был номинирован на звание "International Artist Of The Year 2010" от American Smooth Jazz Awards. Oli Silk часто проводит туры в США со своей группой, а также участвует в качестве клавишника в проектах со многими другими артистами, включая Sax Pack, Jackiem Joyner и Cindy Bradley. Кроме зарубежных поездок Oli Silk регулярно выступает у себя в Великобритании. В совместных проектах с Oli Silk принимали участие такие музыканты как гитаристы Peter White и Marc Antoine, саксофонисты Richard Elliot и Jaared, трубач Rick Braun и другие. Oli Silk является постоянным гостем на одной из самых популярных Smooth Jazz Интернет-радио программ в мире - "Jimi King Show".

He starts with a sweet blend of laid-back atmospheres and a beautiful acoustic piano melody on "Eve's Song," then goes slightly funkier and urban on "So Many Ways" (featuring the soaring chorus vocals of Yvonne John-Lewis). Like something out of the Jeff Lorber school of soulful keyboarding, the Fender Rhodes-driven "London to L.A. Express" captures the popular old school vibe the genre is often known for. And just when he's getting a bit too laid back, he grooves it up with guest saxman Jaared for the disc's most lively cut "Deuces." Sadly, that track was too adventurous for the "don't want to offend anyone" vibe of the modern format, so the lush but less remarkable "Easy Does It" was chosen as the debut single. Jaared makes a repeat visit on "Summer Fling," yet another song which fulfills a genre requisite, having a R&B-flavored vocal (by Bruce Parker) on the album. Ironically, while there are truly no innovations to be found and Silk seems the whole time to simply try to keep the smooth customer satisfied with stuff that goes down easy, So Many Ways is also one of the most likeable genre discs of the year and holds up after repeated listens. It'll surely give ammo to those who hate the genre, and probably won't overly excite fans of more entrenched keyboard artists (like Lorber or Silk's labelmate Gregg Karukas). But it's still a gem in its own way -- and, in what almost seems revolutionary in the modern smooth jazz climate -- it doesn't have a cover tune!

His engaging follow-up not only continues to expand in that always compelling vein, but actually has a classic styled Lorber tune, the bright, bubbling and edgy, piano and Rhodes driven "Seventh Heaven" in the mix. Lorber's trademark mix of moody old-schooling and simmering grooves passes its torch to Silk's new generation throughout, but ultimately, it's Silk's mix of elegant and cheerful melodies that are leading to his stake at smooth jazz stardom. The popular radio single "Chill or Be Chilled" backs his sensual piano melody with a light beat, some cool atmospheric effects, colorful sax shadings by Gary Honor and a crisp electric guitar solo by song co-writer Matt Park. Just as on his debut, Silk also mixes it up with feisty saxman Jaared on the disc's best cuts, including the playfully strutting "Lime Cordial Soup" and the percussive, scratch-enhanced title track, which features Silk's best blend of rollicking piano and dark toned synths. Most of the disc has ample grooves, but some folks like their smooth jazz to relax them, and Silk lives up to his last name on the super chilling, Jaared enhanced coolness of "De-Stress Signal." Most genre artists keep their tracks under five minutes by commercial default, so it's great to see the keyboardist stretch and let his bandmates solo on the expansive, atmospheric eight minutes of "Solidarity." Overall, a star making turn for Silk as he continued to establish his presence in a crowded smooth jazz field. Original Release: 2010 Trippin'n'Rhythm (August 31, 2010) (USA)

Drummer Oscar Seaton and bassists Mark Jaimes and Dwayne Smith set up percolating rhythm tracks, over which Silk solos easily on acoustic piano and/or electric keyboards, although "pleasant noodling" would be an equally accurate description. There is the de rigueur vocal track for radio, "Didn't Know About Love," and the expected Latin variation, "Latin Haze," on which Jaimes plays acoustic guitar; someone speaks in Spanish; and Joe Beckett provides some Latin percussion. Jaimes gets to use his electric guitar on "L.A. to London: The Return Journey" and the unfortunately titled "Lay Back and Think of England," while horn players Cindy Bradley and Gary Honor get look-ins on "Tokyo" and "Ahead of the Weather." The most characteristic track may be "Bring Back Those Days," which alludes to the smooth jazz affection for `70s R&B, as singers Rebeca Vega Felipe and Shannon Pearson repeat a chorus beginning, "Feels like an old-school jam." Throughout, Silk tinkles along agreeably, creating a near-generic example of the smooth jazz field. Original Release: 2013 Trippin'n'Rhythm (USA)

Did this ever get any airtime? This is hot, and without question a necessary part of your jazz collection. I first heard of Oli Silk when I first listen to James Vargas on DirecTv's jazz station, but I never investigated him to learn more about him. I am in North Carolina, and there are no jazz stations here, unless they appear in very small markets that focus on the locals. I normally hit Amazon.com to learn about what's new and who's new on the jazz market, and Oli Silk's name appeared once again. "So Many Ways" is quite nice, and after hearing James Vargas' self-entitled cd, I was not surprised to smile at Mr. Silk's solo debut. That cd was released in 2006, and while looking to see if Oli Silk had dropped something new, I found "Duality." Smiles for miles once again. As I am typing this, I am downloading it on, itching to press 'play.' No matter where you are, no matter where you go, be sure to take some Sugar & Silk with you.
