HERB ALPERT – MUSIC VOL. 1
Sounding as fresh, hip, edgy and tuneful as ever at 82, Rock
and Roll Hall of Famer and nine time Grammy winner Herb Alpert takes his
inimitable trumpet to many fascinating places on MUSIC VOL. 1. Teaming with
Grammy winning producer Jochem van der Saag (Andrea Bocelli, Seal, Destiny’s
Child), the legend mines some seriously deep cool and electronic soulfulness in
re-imagining many blasts from the past popularized by The Beatles, John Lennon,
Nat “King” Cole, Frank Sinatra and his legendary band The Tijuana Brass, as
well as from modern pop crooner, Jason Mraz! Blissfully bridging past and
present, MUSIC VOL. 1 shows that the master is still in top form! ~

THE B. CHRISTOPHER BAND – FOUR FROM THE SUN
Following his well received debut HIGH TIDE, electric
guitarist B. Christopher – leader of The B. Christopher Band - continues his
emergence as a solo artist with FOUR FROM THE SUN, which features his fluid
melodies and dazzling licks in an exciting variety of jazz, pop, R&B and
blues settings. Besides return visits from Nathan East and Anton Fig, the album
– whose single word titles all refer to multiple shades of red – includes
all-star contributions by saxman Andy Snitzer, drummer Shawn Pelton and bassist
Stu Hamm. FOUR FROM THE SUN is red hot! ~ smoothjazz.com
ABRAHAM DAY – THE PURPOSE
After touring with R&B bands and serving as an educator,
radio announcer and youth counselor, saxophonist Abraham Day makes a bold
declaration about his new creative mission on his debut album THE PURPOSE. As a
producer and arranger, he gives his silky, light funk horn style a percolating
bed of lightly percussive grooves and enhances his infectious melodies with
dreamy atmospheres and trippy sonic textures. Smooth Jazz doesn’t get any more
soulful and spiritual than THE PURPOSE! ~ smoothjazz.com
