Welcome - the debut album from Don Glori – is this week's PBS Feature Album. It's a kaleidoscopic free dive into Don Glori's world, featuring eight recordings of revolving jazz, Brazilian, soul and funk inspired compositions spinning together and blurring into a genre bending slew of new music.
There is an intangible element of joy and connection sitting just outside the grasp of description or definition that can be felt throughout this album. Each song on Welcome captures the spirit and irrepressible energy that underpins the core of the Don Glori project.
Imperfections are captured along with the moments of transcendence. Layers of vocal harmonies oscillate next to pulsating samba rhythms while spiritual overtones permeate throughout. Congas and percussion form a holy union with the drum kit, co-piloted by Don Glori’s own bass lines. Saxophones, horns and flutes flutter in between the musical canyons carved out by the piano and vibraphone.
PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of Welcome on vinyl via this Tuesday's e-newsletter, so make sure you check your inbox! Please note that winners will be required to pick up their records from our Collingwood studios.
