His debut album, Love T.K.O. is titled after the huge hit he wrote for a <strong>Teddy Pendergrass <\/strong>Platinum album. This CD will definitely appeal to smooth jazz enthusiasts with its unique blending of R&amp;B \/ funk rhythms with acoustic and electric jazz piano soloing.   <\/p>\n<p>  A fan of Herbie Hancock&#8217;s keyboard work, Noble attempted to capture that historic jazz-funk fusion sound, although updated with his own contemporary embellishments.  Noble&#8217;s own version of the mega-hit <em>Love T.K.O.<\/em> is mostly instrumental and gives you a slightly different feel on the familiar theme. Noble wrote a half-dozen other tunes for this recording including the opening jammer <em>Noble Cause <\/em>,  smooth and sleek vocal-infused<em>Nite Song<\/em>, the goodtimey <em>Carousel<\/em> and the urban tinged <em>Gip Hop<\/em>.   <\/p>\n<p>  Noble does a seven-minute-plus version of Burt Bacharach s <em>Trains &amp; Boats &amp; Planes <\/em>(made famous by Dionne Warwick) full of piano soloing, and a smooth jazz version of the Christopher Cross hit <em>Sailing<\/em>. This is a great infusion of good old fashioned soul into the Smooth Jazz cartridge. A refreshing and enjoyable release.  <\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\"\/><cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"><\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\"\/><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/cfinclude><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eddie Gip Noble Love T.K.O.
