With Highway 10 Blues, the first disc from the newly-launched Lunaticworks Jazz imprint, Reeves set out to make an album capturing the vibe of long drives through the desert, the big open spaces, the earth tones, and also some of the neon and glitter. Instead of going for heavy upfront beats or a dance sensibility, the set floats and cruises, with melody and mood in the foreground.Ý The album evolves out of Reeves' journey through rock, reggae, jazz, and dance as he travels the road between jazz ("Jackpot") and nu-jazz ("Pretend Gems"): a place where thematic melodies merge with challenging harmonics and a chilled vibe.
