Post Description

This compilation is a great introduction to Smooth Jazz and some of the excellent artists who soothe and smooth our hectic lives. Prior to this album, I really did not know many smooth jazz artists beyond Kenny G and, after a while, I found his music a bit redundant.
However, this variety gives you an excellent perspective on several artists. My favorites include Paul Taylor, Tania Maria, Spyro Gyra and Eric Marienthal. Although they were not featured on this compilation and if you like your smooth jazz a little more funky and upbeat, try Down to the Bone. Good Listening to you!! ~ Gary W. Rice
