Music Review: Kyle Eastwood - Metropolitain - Page 2

Just in case you were wondering, the track that utilizes an 11-piece group is the last one on the album, and it's something a little different. For one, it features eight musicians and three vocalists, with the lead carried by guest singer Toyin, and although it's an enjoyable listen, it does have a distinctly different sound.

If that all sounds a little confusing, don't let it deter you from taking a closer look at this album. Eastwood makes all this work pretty well, and has put together an intriguing collection of modern jazz that borrows a little from contemporary, funk, and even Latin jazz.
