BROTHER 2 BROTHER FEATURING CARTER CARTER – CAN I TAKE YOU
THERE
Move over, Philly! Siblings Winston and Charles (Chaz)
Carter - collectively known as Brother 2 Brother featuring Carter Carter - are
declaring their hometown of Pittsburgh the official city of Brotherly Jazz. The
electric guitar and drummer duo backs their boldness with a list of prime
opening gigs (Cameo, Bobby Brown, Angela Bofill, Parliament Funkadelic) and a
tight, melodic, in the pocket debut Can I Take You There. Helmed by producer
Chuck Cymone - who has done projects with Chris Standring, Eric Darius, Peter
White, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliot - the song set spotlights the
Carter's prowess on their respective instruments and creates an inviting,
sonically expansive world full of sultry contemporary jazz and R&B. When Brother
2 Brother asks, Can I Take You There, you're gonna say yes! ~ smoothjazz.com

KENNY POLSON – PARADISE VOL. 1
After earning four college degrees and teaching for years
everywhere from Bogota and Rio to Beijing, saxophonist and composer Kenney
Polson returns to recording and performing music full time with the release of
an album whose title perfectly describes the listening experience: Paradise, Vol.
1. Drawing on his passions for jazz, new age, Latin, R&B, funk and gospel,
Polson creates a spirited, soulful mix of melodic tunes, jazzy riffs and dreamy
atmospheres with top Brazilian musicians he has recorded with previously. In
all, the versatile musical force of nature has visited and performed in over 50
countries. He pools all those magical experiences and vibes together to create
a true musical Paradise! Best of all, the second half of the album title
promises there's more to come! ~ smoothjazz.com
