Hulon posted a blog postDr. Goodfoot
Dr. Goodfoot” is one of those tracks that is just as fun to play as it is to listen to. I'm so glad the palpable energy we felt in the studio translated to the finished recording. I knew we were doing something right when I couldn't help but dance while playing this. Partially inspired by Grover Washington Jr.’s “Mister Magic,” this track should be accessible to all those who enjoy a funky groove and an upbeat mood. …See More
Hulon posted a blog postCheck out my song "Follow Me"!!!
"Follow Me" is a song that really puts me at ease. It takes you on a journey to find peace from the smooth sax to clear notes of the piano. This song is perfect way to end your day and reflect on your life and enjoy what you have here and now at that very moment. The groove of this song speaks to your spirit and makes you feel glad to be alive.http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/first-impressions/id355247047 #See More

"So Naturally" is a song I wrote that is meant to just feel right. The groove, the melody and the production sounds are meant to convey pure bliss. This tune is laid back and very smooth, perfect for a drive up the coast with the top down. Some might hear a nod to the blissful groove of George Benson on his album Breezin'.…
Cisco Kid

“Cisco Kid” is nothing but smooth sax that will keep you humming all throughout the song. I like to keep the beat going throughout the phrase while building dynamics to anticipate my own freestyle. I like my music to immediately make you feel lost in my world of jazz, where you can’t help but sway to the beat. In this live performance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htnRy6NvisM, you can even see all…

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!
