Guitarist Aleksi Glick’s new trio album blends smooth jazz, pop, and soul music into a beautiful ball of impressive original compositions and arrangements.  The first tune rolls out, featuring the lovely vocals of Laureana on “She Told Me.”  Although Glick straddles several genres, he remains true to his distinct musical vision.  His music shows depth and artistic creativity as both a guitarist and composer.  Glick has written nine of the ten songs featured on this “World Traveler” album.  Representative of this world traveler concept, the songs he’s composed reflect a blend of cultures and genres.

Aleksi’s debut album was titled “His Spirit” and established this talented musician as a competent composer and technically astute guitarist.

Many compositions on this sophomore release by Aleksi Glick have been inspired by his travels including pieces like “Nordic Bossa” inspired by a pause on the side of a road in Finland, or “Japanese Garden” written after spending a peaceful time on a picturesque park bench in Japan.

“Leaving LA” was written after visiting a rooftop in sunny Southern California.  It’s arranged as a smooth jazz bossa nova at first, then broadens with a taste of progressive rock music creeping into the arrangement, showcasing Glick’s guitar when he takes on a spontaneous and energetic solo. Track #2, titled “His Spirit” has a touch of Americana to the tune.  “A Tune for Vic” is all buttered up in the blues.  Jeff Koch offers an emotional bass solo. “Guitar and Me” swoops us to Brazil, with the bright rhythms of Nathan Ellman-Bell on drums propelling the song ahead at a Samba pace and taking a boisterous, happy solo.

This album has a little something for everyone, featuring a super talented guitarist and his awesome trio.   I enjoyed every song they played.
