Back in January 2011 Smooth Jazz Journalist of The Year nominee, Denis Poole, commented that 'North End Soul' from multi instrumentalist, writer and producer Vincent Ingala was, by any standards, an outstanding piece of work. In fact, it proved to be spectacular debut and set the scene for what evolved into a truly remarkable year. In San Diego, at what became known as 'The Lemonade Weekend', Ingala owned the stage at Anthology and later jammed with Peter White at the Hard Rock Hotel.
