Remember the cozy jazz tunes from your local diner or the classy old-school restaurants? They are lazy enough to blend into the background but comforting enough to mull over and thaw the atmosphere. The album โThree Minute Noodlesโ by Rj Bacon invokes a similar subcurrent with its bluesy jazz instrumentals. However, the production, if it had a taste, would probably taste more like fine wine than three minute noodles. But this is not the first lounge jazz album Russell Bacon has released.
Rj Bacon has his own music studio where he does his own recording and producing of his own favorite kind of Jazz musicโlounge jazz. Coming from the heart, itโs got to taste sweet. Spanning over 7 tracks, it starts with the slow introduction of โBeach Shadows,โ with its trumpet blaring out to โWest 44th.โ The second track has a piano playing out the rhythm with complementary percussion and drums occasionally thumping up the energy.
The heart of the album, โLate in the Day,โ has a more exotic vibe, as you can imagine yourself sipping on a dry martini while lightly swaying on a sandy beach facing sunset or just late in the day. Letโs not skimp on the track going by the same name as the album: โThree Minute Noodle.โ Arranged with a trumpet dragging our feet in a specific direction and letting us fall into the extremely satiating sonic swings. โHer White Dressโ has the magnificent feel of eyes boring into a wedding dress. Itโs the perfect ending to a relaxing and riveting album.
โThree Minute Noodlesโ by Rj Bacon leaves no word left to be said. Itโs for all to enjoy over a night out.
