Lassiter’s album is a triumph of deep groove, swaggering horns and soul-stirring vocal performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing on vocals the likes of Jonathan Hoard, Mariah Meshae, Charles Jones, Durand Bernarr, Mackenzie, LaVance Colley, Munir Hossn, Elliott Yamin and Lassiter’s wife Josje (aka Josephine Rojer). The title track also features a vocal duet between Josje and 22x Latin Grammy-winning legend Juan Luis Guerra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn board for this ride into the funkosphere are fellow musicians; keyboardist David Paich (of Toto), bassist Mono Neon (of Prince), Leopard label mates keyboardist Bobby Sparks, drummer Robert “Sput” Searight and Mark Lettieri (all of Snarky Puppy), saxophonist Jeff Coffin (of Bela Fleck \u0026amp; The Flecktones and the Dave Matthews Band), label mate organist Ricky Peterson (of David Sanborn, Prince, and George Benson), drummer Nikki Glaspie (of Beyonce, Maceo Parker, and Dumpstaphunk) and string arranging genius Simon Novsky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith one foot firmly planted in old school funk, Lassiter confidently strides somewhere else on each of the ten tracks of ‘Live in Love’. “You hear a lot of hip hop blended with jazz nowadays and also neo-soul blended with jazz,” he said. “But, I don’t know that I’ve heard a whole lot of large ensemble neo-soul\/hip-hop\/jazz. That’s what we do.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks: Make America Love Again \/ Poof \/ Suga Coat Me \/ Take A Little Time \/ Light Me Up \/ Babayaga \/ Love Story \/ Repent \/ Root Chakra \/ Live In Love\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LEOPARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39920026681500,"sku":"D77084","price":14.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/PhilipLassiter-LiveInLove_c4dcd3c3-2dff-4ac6-bf73-a488b3bbcf0e.jpg?v=1621180744","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/philip-lassiter-live-in-love-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
