CD GEMINI

Description

'Gemini' is the fifth studio album by San Diego's nine-piece instrumental ensemble, The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble, released on March 28, 2025. This album expands their signature blend of jazz and funk with influences from library music, spiritual jazz, and exotica. Tracks like 'Makin' Moves' and 'The Grifter' showcase their energetic funk-soul-jazz style, while compositions such as 'Mother Earth' and 'Freddie' introduce more introspective tones, evoking the spirit of artists like Freddie Hubbard and Phil Ranelin.
