Isaiah Katumwa's coming home album review.

Isaiah Katumwa's coming home jazz album is decorated with an energetic album cover that has Isaiah looking up the sky and heartily smiling while holding his tool of "power" The saxophone. Welcome I guess welcomes the listener to Katumwa's experience. It’s a mellow jazz piece. With the loud sound of the saxophone which clearly is sending out the signal welcome.

Just for you starts off with the sound of drums and might easily reminding you of South African as a land as it bends more toward the African send up. It also has the African sound of women making happy noises locally referred to as “omuzira
Sanyu” (meaning happiness) is the slow type of Ballard for those down for laid back jazz music. It could be a good choice for dinner accompaniment’s lady also keeps punctuating the piece with the word “Gwe Sanyu”.

Smile starts off this the sound of the piano and slight sash sounds and bends toward the zouk side. The saxophone comes in minutes later.
Amata (meaning Milk) starts off with a slight guitar taps and is the funky type. The one that will make you shake your head in approval.
You alone features Hum k and starts off with light drums before the saxophone comes in. It’s the slow type of jazz piece. Coming home, You alone is the sorrowful type of Ballard that starts off with the sound of chimes. The way the saxophone is denotes haunting situations. Always there starts immediately with the sound of the saxophone that sounds in a meandering mellow way no other instruments bless with one. I will worship you mighty God is the worship type like the title suggests and starts off with chimes. The saxophone is played in a mellow way thus clearly sending the holy message home.Wa Milele is the funky African type bending more toward Lingala type of Jazz. The saxophone is played in a repetitive tune but however ear friendly.

One the whole coming home can be described as a mellow jazz CD and you can tell it took the artist time to record. It was produced by Isaiah Katumwa and co-produced by Sam Bisaso and Daniel Jones.

A cup of tea with Isaiah Katumwa

He is referred to as the Ugandan Kenny G, hit the music scene like a “tsunami” and has surely left a mark on the hearts of so many people. Isaiah is one of the people who would love to count himself as lucky.  He came to learn and love music while doing it as an activity as a kid. He then never cared so much about it because he thought everyone could sing well, he later ventured into instruments.
