Lapalme Magazine Review: Justin Chart: Night Heat
Justin Chart’s appropriately named new album “Night Heat” is live with the unbridled spontaneity of brilliant musicians at the very top of their game
Chart has once again recorded a live Hard-Bop album of fluid language, with thought-provoking phrasing, while presenting powerful control of his horn.
“We Got Somethin Goin On”, begins as a sprawling piece that starts with a powerful groove that sinks right in to your core before morphing into a full-blown jazz extravaganza, fueling Chart’s sizzling riffs. This song would have been a hit single back in the day when instrumental singles meant something.
