Post Description

Fast-rising sax great Andrew Neu launches his strongest ever collection of compelling contemporary jazz performances with his new release EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, featuring an all-star list of guest artists. Listen to this line-up: Rick Braun, Brian Bromberg, Bobby Caldwell, Jeff Lorber, Steve Oliver, and Tom Schuman! Brian Bromberg produced nine of the eleven songs here, with Steve Oliver handling the other two. Andrew’s playing is fresh, dynamic, and downright addictive, as he covers a broad range of musical styles and vibes on this project, from a cinematic orchestral accompaniment to Bobby Caldwell’s engaging vocal on “What Would I Do” to the Latin-tinged “Night of the Mojito” to the in-the-pocket title track. To my ear, Andrew Neu’s EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON will be his breakout album. It’s got all the ingredients in place – strong songs, world-class musicianship, brilliant production… this is a monster of a hit! ~ SCOTT O'BRIEN
