As well as her own releases on labels like SoulJazz Records and M.E.L.T 2000, Jessica's keyboard skills have augmented the
live performances and studio recordings of world renowned artists such as Jean
Carne, Tom Browne, Dexter Wansel and James Mason, Japan's United Future
Organisation, UK soul diva Juliet Roberts, as well as Jessica currently being a
core member of Nick Woodmansey's space jazz outfit Emanative.
Jessica Lauren Four is an intoxicating cocktail
of her many diverse influences including blues and soul, jazz and Afro-Cuban
rhythms, combined with ambient dance music, always interesting, absorbing and
surprising.
Highlights of the collection include WhiteMountain which is a spell binding and hypnotic blend of 21st century jazz
sensibilities, combined with ambient dance music minimalism and is a first rate
lesson in the 'less is more approach' to music making.
Renowned vocal sensation Jocelyn Brown makes
two contributions on the album, the first being the rolling, rhythm &
blues romper stomper Happiness Train, Joycelyns second appearance on this
collection, I Believe is gospel influenced soul with Jessica's tender piano and
organ work underpinning Jocelyn's quite outstanding and touching vocal
performance.
