Details:
SounDoctrine's fourth release, ENDURANCE is an enthusiastic burst of music that redefines the boundaries of Smooth, Fusion and Contemporary Jazz!

While exploring the underworld of Pop, Funk, Reggae, Jazz Rock, Blues & Latin Soul, SounDoctrine delivers a powerful set of tunes with strong melodies, elastic rhythms and raw energy that provide a superlative foundation for the mind-blowing solos of saxophonist Keith McKelley, guitarist Paul Douds and keyboardist Cliff Barnes.

Stand out tracks include "Once Upon A Groove" a super funk-a-thon which opens the album and is a perfect set up for the journey ahead. "Soul Song" is an oasis of a ballad which clocks in at a little over 12 minutes, excellent for late night listening with that special someone and "Fiveaftersix" shows a different side of the band's jazz palette by moving through different time signatures and zones.

"Really Cool" is a band collective reminiscent of The Crusaders early work while showcasing each musician's muscle as "Sacrifice" settles in comfortably to a silky smooth jazz flow for the new school.

"Blues Crossing" provides Paul Douds the opportunity to walk through the corridors of Eric Clapton & Stevie Ray Vaughn and the scorching fusion fix "Hermeneutics" featuring guest drummer Derek Dixie picks up the Weather Report baton to set a new standard.

ENDURANCE: A tenderness of a Jim Couchenour ballad, the pulse of Phil The Beat's roaring bass and the funky crackle of producer Jere B's drums fits nicely into any jazz lover's rotation.
