Timeless Groove: Shelly Rudolph’s “I Love LOVE” Revives Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Blues

by Leslie Sherman June 20, 2024 3:28 pm Tagged With: Jazz, Shelly Rudolph, singer, songwriter, Soul, United States

Portland sensation Shelly Rudolph is redefining timeless music with her latest track, “I Love Love.”

This song brilliantly brings together the intricacy of jazz, the sophistication of soul, the infectious groove of funk, and the emotive depth of blues into a gorgeous, seductive package.

Featuring the legendary Charlie Hunter on both four-string and six-string guitars, “I Love LOVE” creates a groovy, ornate soundscape that’s both rich and compelling. Cyrus Naibipoor’s muted trumpet adds a touch of distant mystique, weaving a spellbinding atmosphere that lingers long after the song ends. The track is driven perfectly by Reinhardt Wolfgang Melz’s delicate and deft drumming, providing the ideal rhythm to tie all these elements together seamlessly.

But the true magic lies in Shelly Rudolph’s warm, inviting vocals. Her impressive range—from gentle whispers to powerful crescendos—elevates “I Love Love” to new heights. Her voice wraps around you like a comforting embrace, drawing you into the emotional core of the song with ease and grace.

Shelly Rudolph breathes new life into jazz, soul, funk, and blues, proving that their magic is timeless and ever-evolving. With artists like her, it feels like a new high point for these genres is just around the corner. Give “I Love LOVE” a listen and immerse yourself in the timeless, captivating magic that Shelly Rudolph brings to the table.

Shelly Rudolph’s music career spans over two decades, blending jazz, soul, blues, R&B, reggae, and pop. Based in Portland, Oregon, she captivates local audiences with her soulful vocals and dynamic performances.

Her latest album, “The Way We Love,” diverges from traditional jazz, featuring a drum-less, chamber jazz style and collaboration with cellist David Darling. Rudolph has shared stages with Tom Grant and Phil Baker of Pink Martini, earning accolades for her genre-blending and poetic lyrics.

Internationally, her music features on Spotify, Pandora, and jazz radio stations in Europe, Japan, Indonesia, and the Middle East. Locally she engages in community projects, receiving awards like the RACC Professional Development Grant as well as selection for Mayor Adams’ Listen Local program.
