I was first introduced to music during my childwood as a member of my family Church, played keyboard and organ. Then I knew I needed more of music. Built my first guitar and every thing in my life change. I performed in Philadelphia, New York and Jamaica. Neon-City is a rhythmic blend of Jazz, R&B and Reggae. I attend New York of Music and played with a number of great musician, such as Bob Marley. NeonCity Review Neville Lloyd- Neon City CD Review with Anthony Turner The Weekly Star (N.A.) March 14-20, 2002 Renowned guitarist Neville Lloyd, best known for his famous band, Shubert & The Miracles hopes to make his mark with his long-awaited solo debut "Neon City" that blends adult contemporary jazz and R&B with musical influences, ranging from classical to hip-hop. Artists featured on the compilation include alto saxophonist Bruce Williams, tenor saxophonist Bob Culsak, Freddie Hendrix on trumpet, and rapper Nathan Gaskin, Dave Tarzain tenor saxophone and Greg Castano on drums. Neville first garnered attention as the lead guitarist for the popluar Jamaican North coast band, Llans Thelwell & The Celestials, of Montego Bay. He performed on the band's release, "Llans Thelwell Plays It All," (1964), and in the North Coast's most popular clubs, including the Sombrero and the Glass Bucket, and at the University of the West Indies. The band was also featured on Jamaican Bandstand. Once you warm to Lloyd's accent you will appreciate his voice, which roars from the first track until the end. What I loved most is the compelling R&B rhythm that hits you on each track. Neville has obviously bridged the gap between raw R&B and sophisticated new music with talented musicians, dazzling arrangements, and solid songwriting that offers a taste of how "Jazz" inspired R&B should sound. The first three songs "Neoncity," "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Linda" with their sophisticated sound sets the album's mood. The laid back "Mercy, Mercy It Ain't Easy" has a wicked hook and Lloyd is near flawless in his execution here. "Breezeway" has a palatable sound while "Don't Stop" and "Cure" round off the 10-track disc. Check out the artist's website: http://www.nevillelloyd.com Track List: 1. Neon-city 2.
