Post Description

Since Elan Trotman decided to venture away from the beautiful paradise island of Barbados where he honed many of his musical tastes and skills, the talented saxman has wowed and wooed many...The melodies are alluring, soft, and seductive, the hooks unrelenting and memorable. This album casts Trotman in a professional light that should have been there ages ago...Trotman shows here a level of maturity that only comes with exposure, patience, determination, and that true depth of feeling and understanding what it takes...Every track breathes here, from the intro to the title track to the classic 'When I Fall in Love' to the irresistibly steamy and soulfully consuming 'Rain'...The album's loaded with serious melodies and very deliberate, sure-footed expressions of love. In my opinion, it accomplishes its goal. A wonderful effort. --The Smooth Jazz Ride

It's a collection that further shows off the penchant he has for smooth grooves and is built around his intent to create an atmosphere through his music that is both relaxing and sensuous. With eleven of his own original compositions, one well chosen cover and guest performances from Brian Simpson and the up-coming Cindy Bradley, 'Love And Sax' may well be the vehicle to elevate Trotman into the smooth jazz mainstream. --Smooth Jazz Therapy

Barbados born Elan Trotman, composer, performer, teacher and recording artist, pushes himself to the forefront of smooth jazz.

With Love and Sax, Elan Trotman manages to catch up with the leaders in the smooth jazz genre. --Smooth Jazz Daily
