Gospel/Jazz bassist, vocalist and composer, Charles (Chuck) Moorer is back with his signature blend of soul-stirring melodies and funky basslines. Co-produced by Chuck and #1 Billboard artist and producer Nils – If You Wait focuses on inspiring and encouraging people of all walks of life to have patience in all they want to accomplish. In addition to the seven vocal tracks on the main album, Chuck is blessing fans of smooth jazz first with an all-instrumental version of the title track “If You Wait.” The track starts out easy flowing and builds towards a funky, high-powered crescendo, offering a dynamic showcase for Chuck’s buoyant, melodic bass energy on the verse sections, complemented and further fueled by Gerald Albright’s trademark soulful sax excitement on harmonies at specific junctures and later contributes an intense, freewheeling trademark solo. The instrumental version reflects the title concept brilliantly, increasing anticipation via a slow build slowly with a cool mid-tempo bass melody and sax harmony before both Chuck and Albright strut their more intense stuff.
