Veteran accomplished world traveled Jamaica born guitarist, arranger, and composer has recorded his 4th release, Shades of Grey. This album is a compilation of instrumental ecletic ideas on cover and original compositions. The listener will get a taste of Jazz, Ska, Reggae and Classical music, thus giving rise to the name
shades of grey.
Shades of Grey is a testament to Eugene’s 35+ years of experience in the music business. Live musicians and true arrangements are the cornerstone of all the songs. In addition, there are two bonus tracks that highlight the vocal acumen of singer Tasha.
The uniqueness and individuality of Shades of Grey is what sets it apart. According to Eugene, Shades of Grey is an expose of ecletic ideas whose objective is to inspire the open minded and to trigger a spark of curiosity in the skeptic. This is the genius of Eugene Grey.
Press on Shades of Grey:
Eugene Grey soars on Shades of Grey (Greyphone), the roots reggae version of a smooth-jazz album that showcases his stylized virtuoso electric guitar with soft backing vocals, chunky tracks bedded by real
bass, drum and subdued keyboards. If you like players like Peter White, Larry Carlton or Lee Ritenour you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the technical dexterity of Eugene Grey working on unquestionable reggae rhythms but playing with the feel of modern jazz at its best.
