Robbie BaxterSoft Tones of Worship (2012)
By Bob Marovich for The Black Gospel Blog
Bishop Robbie Baxter’s new CD, Soft Tones of Worship is inspirational jazz, a mellow, meditative album designed for prayer and worship. It has already garnered praise from pastors in Orlando
The combo featured on the album consists of Paul Brandenburg
The violin-infused “Interlude of Worship” and “We Can Make It” are deeply meditative and new age-y, evoking the sweet melodicism of Norwegian-Irish combo Secret Garden
While Soft Tones of Worship is basically an instrumental album, Baxter’s son Drew and a female backup group lend vocals to “King of All Time.” The song is a paean to God as the hero who saved his life. And as is specific to instrumental inspirational jazz, the linkage between title and arrangement is left up to the listener’s imagination.
Soft Tones of Worship is a nicely produced album of cool down tracks and guaranteed to slow the heart and quiet the mind.
Three of Five Stars
Pick: “We Can Make It.”
