Governing a propensity for chord dynamics and ingenuity, Bridges of Souls features the versatility of drummer Ferenc Nemeth and guitarist Attila László. The pair's compositions establish a rhythm which keeps the music moving in a state of flux. Joining Nemeth and László are pianist Russell Ferrante and bassist Jimmy Haslip, both longtime members of the Yellowjackets.
Atmospheric and melodically pleasing, the title track is finely finessed introducing, audiences to the duo's terms of synchronicity as they create flowing phrases which build effortlessly, moving along a lithesome rhythm. "Downhill" is clad with bopping grooves and chord dynamics penned in the language of jazz improvisation as the reggae beats of "Alone" buffer the raw, gravelly vocals of Hungarian singer Charlie Horvath.
The nimble movements of Ferrante's keys in "Magic City" quilt a pattern of trickling notes as László's guitar chords loop around the sparkling droplets. Ferrante's cruising keys sustain a contemplative feel in "Little Heart" as the soft vocals of Spanish singer Lara Bello weld a reflective vibe making for a bluesy pop fusion. The duo's performance of Radiohead's pop hit "Creep" takes liberties in the form of infusing a bluesy funk texture into the melody, and switches to a relaxing meditative mood in "Missing You," which is kindled by soft sonic glimmers and ethereally-sounding chords.
