Description
Over the past several years, Jazz has been going through a transformation and re-birth. Music fans are becoming interested in this transformation because of the musical innovations of the new artists in the genre. M2O is not only capturing a lot of attention; it is leading the change.
Presenting what they define as "Urban Smooth Jazz," M2O combines the musical and songwriting inspirations of a vast array of styles. With influences ranging from 'James Brown' to 'The Ohio Players' to 'Ramsey Lewis' to 'Grover Washington' to 'Phyllis Hyman,' M2O has created its own unequaled blend of Jazz which can almost best be described as walking a fine line between R&B and Smooth Jazz.
Jazz has evolved over the years from the dance sounds of the 1920's, 30's and 40's to the heavy improvisational sound of the 50's and 60's. M2O is determined to put "Pop" into Jazz by creating a music that people not only can groove to, but will also move them emotionally. M2O is the driving force behind this musical experience.
In its debut release, Epiphany, M2O enlightens us with their musical insight. For example, the title cut -written by Aaron Reid, a founding member who recently passed away- has a driving, funky groove that answers the question
of what to do when you lose a loved one. Do you stand still, in negativity or do you move forward with positive energy and tenacity? Even with the death of one of
their founding members (Aaron Reid), m2o "pressed their way" past this tragedy to complete this album. It is a challenge to their fans to meet the demands of life head-on and drive forward.
The lyrical songs that are featured on this album are about love, relationships and the many nuances of life. For example, the song, Sunshine and Rain is about loving someone in the good times and bad. However, the song, Extraordinary Love boldly states, I will no longer settle for a secondary commitment. The love that I desire is an extraordinary love. The instrumental selections are insightful just as well. They provide a soundtrack to life. They underscore a drive and determination to live life to its fullest.
M2O's musical reflections are simple. Love conquers all. Relationships between people are one the most valued treasures we have. As long as we have each other, we can meet any challenge in life.
