Ken Serio - Brooklyn Oasis [2LP]

Brooklyn Oasis by Ken Serio is a lush, rhythmic escape into jazz fusion’s smoother side—a sonic journey that weaves cool grooves with urban sophistication. Spread across two LPs, this expansive release showcases Serio’s masterful drumming and taste for genre-blending elegance.

Tracks like “Sunset on Flatbush” and “Fulton Flow” capture the heart of Brooklyn’s eclectic energy, mixing funk-laced basslines, soulful guitar licks, and breezy sax solos. It’s jazz with a streetwise pulse, equally at home in a smoky lounge or cruising through the borough after dark.

The double LP format gives these compositions room to breathe, allowing each instrumental voice its moment in the spotlight. Serio’s percussion is the heartbeat throughout—tight, tasteful, and deeply groove-driven.

Perfect for fans of fusion pioneers like Weather Report and Larry Carlton, Brooklyn Oasis is both a tribute to a vibrant city and a laid-back retreat from the chaos. Warm, rhythmic, and endlessly cool—this one spins like a summer evening.
