Product description


Tyreek McDole's debut album Open Up Your Senses introduces a bold new voice in jazz. With Open Up Your Senses, Tyreek McDole makes a bold statement as one of the most compelling young jazz vocalists of his generation.

A rich baritone with a deep connection to the jazz tradition, McDole draws inspiration from legendary predecessors like Johnny Hartman and Leon Thomas while carving out a distinctly original voice. His collaboration with exceptional musicians - including pianists Kenny Barron and Sullivan Fortner - brings an adventurous spirit to the album, blending classic jazz influences with innovative harmonies.

Tyreek McDole brings forth introspective themes, with a repertoire that stretches beyond standard love songs and delves into the realms of philosophy, heritage, and cultural reflection. From his striking interpretation of Thelonious Monk’s "Ugly Beauty" to the powerful chant-like resonance of "The Creator Has A Master Plan," Tyreek McDole delivers a deeply expressive and contemporary musical experience that urges listeners to engage, reflect, and truly open up their senses.

“This is a brilliant opening statement from someone I reckon will be around for some time.” - Gilles Peterson
