Amazonレビュー
ソウロとDJ Jスキルズから成るプロダクション・チーム、サウンド・プロヴァイダーズはグループ発足当初からジャズの美学への傾倒を示していたが、『An Evening With the Sound Providers』で、彼らはそういう心地よい美しさを生み出すことに成功し、それがアルバムのジャズ通な雰囲気に驚くほどしっくり溶けこんでいる。収録曲の3分の1を純粋なインストゥルメンタルが占めることで収録曲全体が光っているが、逆に、繊細なベースラインとピアノのきらめくコードとのメランコリックだが気品のあるブレンドを聴かせる「Autumns Evening Breeze」や「Jazz at the Cove」をしのぐ曲はあまりない。ほかの曲では、この夜会に加わってくれたアンダーグラウンダー仲間にアシェル（「For Old Time's Sake」）、リトル・ブラザー（「Braggin & Boastin」）、マスパイク（「The Throwback」）らがいる。ほかのアーティストたちがクラブを破り捨てようとばかりしている中で、サンディエゴ出身のサウンド・プロヴァイダーズはリスナーの心を“太平洋（Pacific）”のようにクールでディープなムードに合わせようとしている。（Oliver Wang, Amazon.com）
Product Description
With the original emcee gone in search of a solo career, the now two-man group hit the lab and did not emerge until recently. The end result is the highly anticipated, 21-track debut album which features instrumentals by the duo, and guest appearances from some of their favorite artists including Little Brother (ABB Records), Asheru of Unspoken Heard (7 Heads), and Maspyke. "We are big fans of all of the artists featured on the album," says Jason Skills. "It痴 nice to hear your favorite emcees on your tracks. It takes the music to a place that you might not normally take it." A portion of the album was recorded by the artists� who made special guest appearances on it with the exception of The Procussions track, "5 Minutes." That song was recorded at a well-known studio in Los Angeles where Jason is a freelance engineer. "We wanted to cut the vocals for �5 Minutes� so I waited for a session to get done early, called The Procussions, snuck them in and hooked it up! while none of the other engineers were around," said Jason. "We knocked out the whole thing in one night!" The remaining tracks on the album, mainly the instrumentals and interludes, were recorded at both Soulo and Jason痴 respective studios.
Part hip-hop, part jazz, the duo draw from the music that influenced them while growing up to create a soulful vibe infused with bebop, funk, and everything in between.
