Luca Bash - Keys of Mine

.
Luca Bash began his musical journey as a classical violinist. Nothing wrong with that. However, it's tough to be a classical violinist and a prolific songwriter at the same time. It'd also be tough to create a groove like "Paradise Caf�," with its jamming guitar part, having just a violin as one's primary instrument.

Keys of Mine is an album of pop songs. Some rock a bit, like "Paradise Caf�," while others follow more of a jazzy groove. Bash has obviously been inspired by a few modern-day jam bands. Fortunately, he doesn't pick up many of their annoying habits. For instance, you can hear a link between Bash and Dave Matthews Band does, but you won't hear any of those annoying Matthews vocal ticks. In fact, the way Bash's vocal hits high notes during "Forever Like Asleep," nicely reminds one of Coldplay.

The world can be thankful Bash made that switch from violin to guitar because Keys of Mine reveal wonderful fruit of that labor.
