(Published: October 25, 2020)

There are many things with the power of making music quite special. However, nothing beats the personality and charisma of a talented performer. This is definitely the case of Roger Lin, an artist with a focus on creating killer guitar-based jazz songs with a personal twist.

Lin's musicianship is truly world-class, and he knows how to impress the audience with a guitar style that is articulate, yet refreshingly restrained and expressive. In other words, he is not the kind of guitarist who would play long-winded solos and too many notes only because he could. He uses his guitar to crown the songs and to really highlight the mood and feel of the arrangements. As a result, his new album, Whisper of the Isolated Ones, is a great example of amazing modern jazz music. His sound could be describe as a very creative combination of various influences, with some unique element in it as well. What makes this sound stand out is the fact that there is a lot of positivity in his music, which is something that we sorely need in this day and age.

Whisper of the Isolated Ones features six songs. In addition to Lin's astonishing guitar parts, the tracks also feature other instruments, including piano, flugel horn, as well as trumpet and drums. The sound of the band is cohesive and thick, highlighting the chemistry between these musicians. They all sound like a unit, yet they are also able to capture the dynamics of Lin's beautiful compositions. Many of these songs are rather lengthy, with the shortest album cut being slightly over 5 minutes. This allows the band the opportunity to truly explore more with their sound and set the bar higher with an excellent set of arrangement ideas.

Whisper of the Isolated Ones is an amazing jazz album for the modern age, and it takes chances, taking the genre to a different place, but still staying true to its roots and history. This is highly recommended for fans of high-quality instrumental music that breaks the usual cliches and genre boundaries.
