“The Session” is a captivating track released today from The Rhetorician, born and raised in the Greater Pittsburgh Region and now living in the Pacific Northwest. Smooth brass at 01:16 coincides with a serene vocal accompaniment, trending more toward R&B/soul. The next section features a lounge-y piano presence that plays infectiously alongside the precise hip-hop vocal flow. The production aspects on this track — from the subtly effective rhythm section to the glistening keys and seductive brass work — undoubtedly succeed. The Rhetorician’s impressive vocal approach combines with the stellar production of Buddy Hunter Gillam, a jazz musician and composer himself, to make “The Session” a great track.
