It's deep and real and at times driving...
hence the name! ;-) "Ignition".   Michael Tozzie-President / Founder of www.ijazzglobal.com “This group of great musicians know as Drivetime has been together making music for a very long time and with their latest project ‘Ignition’ has taken Urban Organic Jazz to a new level and breathes greatly needed life into it.  This is the second album by this band from Philadelphia that I listen to. I must admit that their Urban Organic Jazz has evolved since the last time, it has a funky groove, it’s jazzy and very melodic. Their sound means that real musicians actually play real instruments, without loops and samples. Most of the tracks are original compositions. On ‘Lincoln Drive’ you can hear saxophonist Andrew Neu, and ‘It’s Love We’re In’ is sung by Phyllis Chapell. The cover ‘Mas Que Nada’ by Jorge Ben is again sung by Phyllis Chapell, and of course the track has a nice Latin feel. On ‘Urban Symphony’, vocalist Justin Guarini shows off, while the mid-tempo ‘On My Mind Again’ features guitarist Vinnie Zummo. The band closes with ‘Mamita’, a swinging Latin track. A nice marriage between old school and contemporary jazz.
