LXCL:<h3 class="lxcl-h3" dir="ltr">🎵 Smile – Ryan Roberts</h3>Released 2021Smile marks bassist Ryan Roberts’ debut as a bandleader and composer—a heartfelt collection of jazz performances rooted in warmth, groove, and honest expression. Blending lyrical bass lines with rich harmonic textures, the album captures the joy and vulnerability that live at the heart of improvisation. Each track on Smile reflects Roberts’ deep connection to the bass as both a rhythmic and melodic voice, guiding listeners through moments of quiet introspection and soulful swing. The album stands as a celebration of optimism, musicianship, and the enduring power of melody. Through the raw dialogue of voice and double bass, each track becomes a reflection on personal and cultural renewal — a meditation on how art helps us navigate change and rediscover connection. Rooted in jazz tradition yet reaching beyond genre, Echoes of Change invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and find meaning in the spaces between sound and silence.
