Rone-iff’s influences include the legends… John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Grover Washington Jr. and even today’s leading sax players the likes of Kenny G and Kirk Whalum. His own unique style is warm and thoughtful. On JOURNEY OF DELIVERANCE there’s a little something for every kind of jazz enthusiast… on “Chill Out” Rone-iff introduces some rich jazz to electronica for a very successful marriage. The islands shine through on the tropical “Halle.Halle,” and the upbeat jams of “SG II” and “Gonna Be Alright” are sure to leave you uplifted, while the sweet and reflective “Trust & Obey” showcases a sensitive and melodic saxophone. Rone-iff uses his music and ministry to reach out to those in need of inspiration in hope of helping those who listen to find encouragement and strength in their own journeys.
