Details:
Was he born by the river like Sam Cooke used to sing about? Well, not quite- more like a large lake called Michigan. Nevertheless, Chicago native William Kurk has returned to the masses with a new project- The Sound: Volume 2. This recording is automatically more in-depth than the previous release The Sound: Volume 1, because this new project features 14 tracks. Only the opening fanfare piece is under 30 seconds, then every song is in full-length format. Most of the music is performed live with a collective of guest musicians, while there are a few studio-manufactured tunes that generate just as much character. The style that describes this musical journey is Urban Progressive: A capella, funk, soul, rock, latin/brazilian jazz, pop, dance, straight ahead jazz, jazz fusion, disco, and blues are all the styles you will distinctly hear in each individual tune on this single album that is over 65 minutes long. All the music on this project is original material written by Kurk himself. William Kurk produced this project along with producer/DJ Anthony Nicholson, and the reveal of their recording relationship is truly manifested in the outcome of this monster disc.

The album features the rising tap drummer from Stone Mountain, GA David âFingersâ Haynes, who is the most sought-after drummer in North America (Prince, Lee Ritenour, Chaka Khan, Stanley Jordan). Quincy âBeansâ Nicholson (son to Anthony listed above), is also featured on a few selections with his drum programming to a few tracks, While Matt Cashdollar is the all-purpose woodwind master, providing flute, sax(s), and EWI (electronic wind instrument) performances that deliver proficiency throughout the entire recording.
