Rone Andrews’ “You Know What I Like” comes across with the confidence and ease of a jazz record that knows what it’s doing. The single, which features They’re Versatile, has a modern feel while staying true to the genre’s enduring appeal. Feel, chemistry, and confidence are the song’s building blocks, and these are the basic elements of jazz when done well.
“You Know What I Like” works best when the experience flows naturally rather than complicating it. The partnership with They’re Versatile makes the exchange feel more natural by adding texture and balance. When musicians really listen to each other, they show they understand each other.
The real-world momentum of this release is what makes it so interesting. The owner of a well-known Detroit jazz station has offered to play the song during intermission at a major jazz event at a famous jazz club, demonstrating its popularity beyond the studio. It shows that the song is authentic and works well in places with strong jazz cultures.
“You Know What I Like” has the quiet confidence that makes classic jazz recordings so great. This song works well in a dark room, where people can hear it and feel it become part of the space. Rone Andrews shows that sometimes the most powerful statement is with “You Know What I Like,” a song that knows where it came from, values working together, and deserves its place in the jazz canon by being simple, smooth, and definitely there.
