John Novello’s music takes you to a soulful world where Jazz, R&B, and pop meet at the corner of Taste and Vibe. Having just two years ago given us his classic set “Ivory Soul” he now returns with a compelling new album “Good To Go” filled with the kinds of dazzling songs and improvisational keyboard wizardry that has made Novello a favorite in contemporary smooth jazz.
Rear View Mirror –
After moving to L.A. John played with Taste Of Honey which then had a #1 song, “Boogie Oogie, Oogie”! That led to many other gigs with esteemed soul, pop, and jazz artists like Donna Summer, Manhattan Transfer, Ramsey Lewis, Edgar Winter, Ritchie Cole, to name but a few. Soon after, developing a following of this own, Novello gave fusion fans a body of work to remember with his group Niacin, a trio that has remained a defining figure in progressive jazz rock. Originally on Chick Corea’s Stretch label, Niacin’s influence on modern musicianship can be compared to the shock wave created by Herbie Hancock’s sonic surrealism. Then a few years ago in a show of remarkable diversity, Novello released his critically acclaimed B3 Soul album with the eponymous single featuring John’s soulful smooth and funky B3 organ style that demonstrates his devotion to the art of the groove combined with unforgettable melody.
Latest And Greatest –
After leaving his keyboard signature imprint over the years on numerous transcendent recordings and shows, the man, the music and the groove came full circle at his peak on acoustic piano with his hit album “Ivory Soul”. From this came 3 singles, “Crush”, ‘I Can’t Stop My Heart” and “Shuffle the Deck” taking the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Top 10 by storm. Working with legendary stalwarts Gerald Albright, Eric Marienthal and Tom Scott, Novello brought his hybrid old-school jazz and a soulful pop R&B into the spotlight with stellar reviews and huge public reception.
Newest And Truest –
With his new album “Good To Go” Novello reunites with sax star Eric Marienthal as well as power house up and comers Jeff Ryan and Jazmin
Ghent to offer up his best dish yet with an irresistible array of flavors. To be released on the 529 Music label January 14th 2019, his first single “Good to Go” will wet your appetite guaranteed to keep you coming back for more when his album of the same name drops in late February 2019.

La música de John Novello te lleva a un mundo conmovedor en el que el jazz, el R&B y el pop se encuentran en la esquina del gusto y el humor. Después de que hace dos años nos diera su clásico "Ivory Soul", ahora vuelve con un nuevo y convincente álbum "Good To Go", repleto del tipo de canciones deslumbrantes y de la magia de la improvisación con el teclado que ha convertido a Novello en uno de los favoritos del smooth jazz contemporáneo.
Rear View Mirror -
Después de mudarse a Los Ángeles, John tocó con Taste Of Honey, que entonces tenía una canción número 1, "Boogie Oogie, Oogie". Eso le llevó a muchas otras actuaciones con estimados artistas de soul, pop y jazz como Donna Summer, Manhattan Transfer, Ramsey Lewis, Edgar Winter, Ritchie Cole, por nombrar sólo algunos. Poco después, Novello, con su grupo Niacin, un trío que se ha convertido en una figura definitoria del jazz-rock progresivo, ofreció a los aficionados a la fusión una obra para recordar. Originalmente en el sello Stretch de Chick Corea, la influencia de Niacin en la música moderna puede compararse con la onda expansiva creada por el surrealismo sónico de Herbie Hancock. Hace unos años, en una muestra de notable diversidad, Novello publicó su álbum B3 Soul, aclamado por la crítica, con el single homónimo, que presenta el estilo de órgano B3 suave y funky de John, que demuestra su devoción por el arte del groove combinado con una melodía inolvidable.
Lo último y lo mejor -
Después de dejar su impronta de teclado a lo largo de los años en numerosas grabaciones y espectáculos trascendentales, el hombre, la música y el groove cerraron el círculo en su apogeo en el piano acústico con su exitoso álbum "Ivory Soul". De él salieron tres sencillos, "Crush", "I Can't Stop My Heart" y "Shuffle the Deck", que ocuparon el Top 10 del Billboard Contemporary Jazz. Trabajando con los legendarios Gerald Albright, Eric Marienthal y Tom Scott, Novello puso en el candelero su híbrido de jazz de la vieja escuela y un R&B conmovedor, con críticas estelares y una gran acogida del público.
Lo más nuevo y verdadero -
Con su nuevo álbum "Good To Go", Novello se reúne con la estrella del saxo Eric Marienthal, así como con los prometedores Jeff Ryan y Jazmin
Ghent para ofrecer su mejor plato con una irresistible variedad de sabores. Se publicará en el sello 529 Music el 14 de enero de 2019, su primer single "Good to Go" te abrirá el apetito y te garantizará que vuelvas a por más cuando su álbum del mismo nombre salga a finales de febrero de 2019.
