Pete Belasco [2022] - One / Sweeter [Jai Alai #JAR07]


Pete Belasco is a multi-instrumentalist (keyboards, synths, vibes, saxophone and flute) from New York who and began his career in 1993

He signed to Verve and released his first album "Get It Together" in 1997. After moving to Florida he was involved in a boating accident in which he injured his hands, and wasn't able to play instruments for several moths, he turned his hand (no pun) to singing and composing.

He has released a further three albums "Deeper" (2003), "Lights On" (2012) and "Strong And Able" (2019). 

The focus of this latest Jai Alai vinyl release are two tracks from his third album "Lights On", "One" and "Sweeter", which he released on his own Eaak label after a nine year hiatus and appear on vinyl for the first time.

Both tracks are laid back, almost smooth jazz, songs on which his light falsetto vocals have been compared to Curtis Mayfield in particular with hints of Smokey and Marvin. They are the antithesis of the other Jai Alai release contrasting with Willie Walker's raw and gritty southern soul vocals.
