~ Song Samples & Reviews ~
For someone who has 'More To Say' about her career & the music she loves, Terri Lyne Carrington's "More To Say....Real Life Story: Nextgen" is the big ticket for the Jazz world! Filled with insatiable grooves & more, Ms. Oliver delivers her thoughts on the new disc!
Richard Elliot returns with another soul flow for instrumental jazz music in Rock Steady. T. Hanna Took a look into the project & shares his thougts!
Mack Ave Records presents, "Lil' Man Soul" from sax player Jackiem Joyner. Our man, Terrill Hanna, looked into the package offered & shares his view about it!
Long time superjazz group Spyro Gyra returns to the forefront with Ian Cooke's thoughts about their new album, "Down The Wire"!
If you remember the smooth instrumental tandem of The Sax Pack, then you may be already made aware of one of their members - Jeff Kashiwa, as he releases "Back In The Day". Peggy Oliver took a look at it!
Guitarist Ronny Smith comes through with another smooth offering in the project, "Just Groovin'" from Pacific Coast Jazz. Terrill reviews the album! Below are song samples from it!!
Released March 24th, Philippe Saisse continues to roll on with music tantalizing for your ears! Catch a taste of his new release - "At World's Edge"!!
The Urban Jazz power is felt throughout the array of songs Boney James has put together for the listener! His new CD, "Send One Your Love" is off the charts!
Three of the most powerful bassists to hit the jazz stage, came together for a unique collaboration! Introducing Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller & Victor Wooten as S.M.V.! They present "Thunder" !
Peggy keeps the penstroke going after taking a good listen to another provocative Jazz band called Gemini Soul. They released "Dark Skin Babies...". And Peggy speaks out about it!
With a little Funk & a little silky soul, Eldredge Jackson delivers a promising look into the furture of his career with the release of "Listening Pleasure"! And Peggy Oliver gives us the breakdown!
The old school soul/funk groove is rehashed into the mindset & flow of sax player Frank Catalano with "Bang!" And T was on this review with a quickness!
Did you say 'Dukey Stick'? Should we take it back there for George or should we pay attention to his new release 'Dukey Treats'??
A second set of Grover Washington Jr's greatest songs comes back to life & is refreshed! Jason Miles will bring you "2 Grover With Love"!
