Soul Understated ft. Mavis 'SWAN' Poole deliver a mentally and spiritually uplifting sound of Jazz-Funk in the vein of Roy Ayers as they encourage you to "Follow Your Mind" in 2014 and beyond. Led by singer/songwriter Mavis ‘SWAN’ Poole and the power of drummer Jeremy ‘BEAN’ Clemons, Soul Understated’s new project showcases what they are known for, exquisite vocals and impeccable musicianship. “On the Shoulders of Giants” began as a series to bridge the gap between established, respected musicians that have totally impacted the planet with their music, and newer modern, artists that are emerging on the music scene.
