The Soul Investigators - Scorpio Man - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A new colossal star rises in the twilight of funky soul jazz as Ernie Hawks releases his debut album InchScorpio ManInch on Timmion Records. The impressive trombonist/flutist, is known to hold no punches, when performing live in the ranks of The Soul Investigators. Here he delivers a fierce selection of S.O.U.L. and Cymande flavored instrumentals that also bring to mind some of the finest sample-fodder library music.The album's name, InchScorpio ManInch might come from the stinging and slightly intimidating style Hawks handles the trombone slide, known to pierce the hearts and souls of the ladies in the front row during his live performances. On this album, Ernie rides to battle equipped only with the flute, but this does not mean we will be exposed to some smooth jazz snooze fest. Rather Ernie handles his instrument with muscular rawness at times and moody ambiance at others, sliding with ease into any groove that the extended Soul Investigators band lays down.InchScorpio ManInch is no one trick pony, and the listener will be shifted around from the exhilarating psych funk of InchScorpio WalkInch all the way to the airy moods of InchStreet of TearsInch. Take a chance with the Scorpio Man, his sting will give you a funky high much better than what they sell in the streets.
