On his debut album "Let Sound Tell All", 23-year-old musician Julius Rodriguez stirs a cauldron of gospel, jazz, classical, R&B, hip-hop, experimentation, production and sheer technical wizardry to create a stunning debut that commands attention. As an 11-year-old kid, Rodriguez honed his jazz chops at Smalls Jazz Club, wowing audiences with his rendition of his favourite Ellington tune "Take the A Train." Fast forward to 2018 when he dropped out of Juilliard, shimmying off the rigid curriculum to tour with A$AP Rocky. Now, in 2022, Rodriguez is on the cusp of a stellar release that weaves together his life and influences -from Monk, Coltrane, Solange, James Blake, Sampha and more. This music is as much at home in Smalls Jazz Club as it is at Gov Ball.
Let Sound Tell All is a complex combination of live improvisation woven with high-level production. A song may start out in a well-oiled, Coltrane Classic Quartet energy and fed through distortion pedals to culminate in an exhilarating trippy meltdown of sheer sonic genius.
