## Resource

Malcolm Strachan’s third solo album, “Look On The Bright Side,” is a vibrant fusion of soul-jazz, Latin grooves, and Afrobeat wrapped in a warm, seventies vibe with a forward-looking edge. As a seasoned trumpeter and bandleader, Strachan crafts fluid, groove-driven tracks that prioritize feel over form, letting melodies breathe and musicians improvise. Featuring longtime collaborators and fresh talent—including percussionist Steve Forman and cinematic string arrangements—the album reflects his roots in Scottish jazz and Leeds funk, while nodding to his work with Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse. It’s upbeat, melodic, and deeply positive—a perfect blend of tradition and innovation for fans of groove-heavy, soulful jazz. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
