In 2003 the album Reiff jr Funky Flavas was released.
Funky grooves and soft ballads bring you around the musical universe of Soren with his excellent guitarplaying, composing and arranging.
The diversity of the tracks gives the listener a very warm and variating feel, and of course the guest appearances of Michael Ruff and Mike Stern confirm the high quality of this album.
John Kelman wrote:
Funky Flavas is an album of sultry grooves, contemporary rhythms and burn-down-the-house funk that showcase his versatility. His years of experience in the studio pay off; the album has a lush, full-bodied sound to it; even with the number of instrumental tracks it never sounds cluttered; every track is well-placed and adds to the overall texture.
Reiff Jr shows his considerable chops with a more aggressive approach and growling sound that brings to mind the best work of Larry Carlton, demonstrating a fine ability to build a solo from nothing to an intense climax.
Speaking of climaxes, there is the uptempo fusion burner, “Keep Your Cool,” which has at least some of its roots in John Scofield’s fusion work of the mid-1980s; Reiff Jr shows the same sense of musical intuition, while remaining a little more harmonically inside.
Funky Flavas is an album that will have some cross-over appeal; light enough to appeal to fans of smooth jazz but substantive enough to appeal to fans of deeper funk and fusion, the one thing that will clearly appeal to all audiences is Reiff Jr’s emotionally deep guitar playing; he makes every note count on this recording and, in the final analysis, that’s what it’s all about.
Uzine, Belgium wrote: "Funky Flavas" is perfect for fans of funky AOR rock � la Steely Dan, Satriani and the like, and of fusion and nu jazz � la Brecker Bros, late Weather Report & co, or even John Scoffield.
