Album Notes

New Age Soul

The solo debut CD from Tyrone Douglas (Abstract Band bass guitarist) consists of 15 original songs featuring friends and family (Bernitta Johnson; Andrew Ayers; Keith Sullivan of Playstation; Walter Robinson and Tommy Thompson of Abstract Band). New Age Soul is a combination of the large synthesizer based sounds found in New Age Music, the guitar feel of Smooth Jazz and the groove of Soul Music; simply put it is Contemporary Jazz with an R&B flavor.
Tyrone was turned onto music at an early age because his parents played everything from Blues to Contemporary Jazz. He credits his father’s large music collection for exposing him to so many forms of music. At 15 his uncle turned him onto yet another form of music “New Age”.
This completely self taught Huntsville native possessed a natural talent for the bass since his adolescent days, but in recent years has also found the guitar and keyboard to be great forms of self expression. New Age Soul debuts Tyrone as an artist, producer, composer, and arranger. With the release of this project Tyrone showcases his potential as an artist being drawn toward the Jazzy side of things, which allows the music to transport you places without the impediment of words. With a deep sense of musicality, melody, and sound choice he creates music that take you on a voyage, because for him that’s what it’s all about.
