Can You Feel It is trumpet player Rick Braun’s 16th release as a solo artist and his return to the more jazz-funk that got him started with Beat Street in 1994.

The album moves from track to track with nonstop funky grooves and catchy horn section riffs. “Take Me to the River” is an excellent rendition of the Al Green tune with the talented vocals of Elliot Yamin. “Delta” is another fun, high-energy track, written by Braun and Jeff Lorber.

Can You Feel It features the talents of Brian Culbertson, Phillippe Saisse, Nathaniel Kearney Jr, Rand Jacobs, Third Richardson, Nate Phillips, Euge Groove, Elliot Yamin, Dave Koz, Jeff Lorber, Richard Freemont, and Sergio Gonazalez.
