Soel is a master of the trumpet and a composer looking to update the universal language of jazz music. Best known for his groundbreaking work with the multi-faceted artist Ludovic Navarre aka St Germain, his debut US release 'Memento' takes vintage soul sounds and turns them inside out and upside down, giving them a new life by adding electronic beats and modern flourishes. The addition of dramatic poetry over the chill out beats makes this album food for thought as well as a tonic for the body. Highly recommended for fans of vintage jazz, classic funk, hip-hop and daring downtempo.
