When two great musicians from opposing genres collaborate, usually it means that some really special and original music is about to be created, and this is exactly what happened when the beat maker Smoove collaborated with John Turrell to create the duo Smoove & Turrell. Their combination of acid jazz beats and blues samples alongside Turrell’s gospel voice is simply incredible and goose bump worthy.
They opened the show with I Can’t Give You Up, and had everyone dancing along right away. When Smoove improvises on the decks, Turrell is incredible at scat singing over the top of his incredibly original beats to create something fresh and exciting. Hearing musicians of this calibre perform live is fascinating, because you’re exposed to so many new tracks that don’t appear on any of their studio recording that they simply make up on the spot.
Their uptempo funk beats had everyone dancing all the way through, and the duo were joining in and encouraging it no end. They’re a lot of fun as well as being super talented, it was a really great show.
