A pitch black groove filled with the ultimate funkiness! The only masterpiece left by the mysterious keyboardist Roland Haynes in "black jazz"! A recommended album for beginners to jazz, combining comfort and aggression!

Roland Haynes, who is often called the "mysterious keyboardist" because of his unclear activities in other works, released his only album for Black Jazz, "2nd Wave". This album, which features the electronic piano of fellow keyboardist Kirk Lightsey on all songs, has a simple composition of two pianos and rhythm instruments, so the superb sound produced by each instrument appeals directly to the ears. From "Eglise", which has a moody comfort unique to jazz, to the title track "Second Wave", which is overwhelmed by the skillful performance technique, without any difficult elements, you can enjoy the comfort and fun of jazz at the same time, and it is a jazz funk sound that is recommended as an introduction to jazz!
