Kobie Watkins - Involved

[GA Russell]

Bobby Broom's drummer Kobie Watkins released an album a few months ago called Involved.

It has been getting some airplay on Sirius. I've been enjoying it for the past six weeks. It's nothing special, just real good mainstream jazz.

There are 10 songs recorded on three dates with different personnel, so the album doesn't sound unified. Broom makes an appearance, and I like his work here more than on his own albums that I've heard.

I recommend that you go over to lala.com and hear for yourself. As happens from time to time, this is another one of those albums where I think that the first song is the worst, so I usually skip over it.

I see that Kobie Watkins and his group will be appearing in Durham on the 30th. I'll try to save up some money to go.

I also see that this album is now up on Spotify.
