“You Started Something” is quite a beginning to Project Grand Slam’s Greetings from Serbia. I can scarcely believe how much is going on musically in this song, yet this six piece band weaves their instrumental attack together with airy and accessible sophistication. Vocalist Ziarra Washington tops the first song off with a passionate and technically on point vocal – you never feel like she’s singing “over” the band but, instead, weaving her voice into the music as well. Founding member and band leader Robert Miller shows off his bass playing talents with the same ear towards integrating his skills with drummer Joel E. Mateo in a way that gives the song an effortless forward thrust. “1972” takes listeners back to the past in a way, but Project Grand Slam’s fusion of jazz and rock does more than merely imitate – it refurbishes the sound for their present audience without ever sounding cookie cutter. Tristan Clark is a valuable contributor to the song’s success as well.
