"Main Street Beat" was originally intended to be a funk record, but became more with R&B, contemporary jazz and pop nuances seeping into the mix. The grooves - many of which are infused with the soul power of a muscular sax section laid down in layers by Joyner.
Jackiem Joyner has spent a lot of time on airplanes the last few months, paving the way for the arrival of his sixth release, Main Street Beat, a steamrolling saxophone set he produced, now available from Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Records.
Jackiem Joyner is proof that life continues even amid all the other projects that human pride considers to be important work. Joyner is a musician – a saxophonist - by trade, so making music, performing in concerts and cutting albums is how Joyner feeds his family. That family grew between the release of Joyner last album, Evolve, and the upcoming debut of his new album Main Street Beat at the end of June.
"The grooves – many of which are infused with the soul power of a muscular sax section laid down in layers by Joyner – are undeniably danceable while his innate flair for crafting catchy hooks and buoyant melodies are prominent."
Jackiem Joyner approached crafting “Main Street Beat” with a three-pronged purpose. “I wanted to create something upbeat, fun to listen to and something to dance to. The release of “Main Street Beat,” Joyner’s sixth album, coincides with his tenth anniversary as a recording artist.
Smooth jazz saxman Jackiem Joyner is a man of many talents. As well as reaching stratospheric heights with his horn playing, his writing talent is also blasting off into a different orbit.
“My daughter really inspired me,” said Soul/Jazz saxophonist Jackiem Joyner about his new album “Main Street Beat” (June 30, 2017 release), which first single “Trinity” is named after his daughter. “It was my first time writing with her in the studio. She loves to sing to the TV.”
