“Smooth Jazz standing on its edge, reaching to touch the soul…” this is how the artist describes his music… The Richmond, VA-based keyboardist has melded strong, jazzy melodies with R&B and cool beats while weaving in elements of new age to create a lively, enlightened sound. The first track, “Revisit James” actually reminds me of early Bob James. Wallace has a similar approach to his playing and composition as BJ in fact, intelligent, sensitive and effortless. SEASONS a time to… is a wonderful musical journey that tells the Keith Wallace story through 12 compelling songs, capturing the feelings of life : love, joy and pain. While living in London, Keith played with international stars Marcia Griffith (“Electric Slide”) and Johnny Nash (“I Can See Clearly Now”), all the while developing a love for cosmopolitan culture and honing his own unique style… SEASONS is a great way to introduce yourself to this unique artist, also be sure to catch Keith and his band live at Richmond-area jazz venues!
