Dr. 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.

The groove of this song speaks to your spirit and makes you feel glad to be alive.…

So Naturally

"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…

Hulon's "Takin' My Time"

There really isn't a better feeling than letting a groove such as "Takin' My Time" seep in. There's an unmistakable feeling of unity amongst Hulon’s band and a sense Hulon absolutely knows what he’s doing and where he’s going.

 

"Takin' My Time" -and Hulon as a musician for that matter- shows the importance of musical aspects that can't and will never be replicated by machines. Such a laid back groove with an arrangement that could only be conceived by a group of musicians…

No More Goodbyes

My first album, First Impressions is a dynamic blend of smooth jazz and soulful-funk. The track "No More Goodbyes" is one that stands out to me with its enchanting, smooth melody and relaxing saxophone throughout. The arrangement of the song is captivating, yet the soothing sax lines are quite simple and my aim is to provide the listener with a sense of tranquility. You can stream the track here and download the album in its…

"Always and Forever"

During my experience as a musician, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with many different artists and bands, all of us making beautiful music together. Some of these artists have gone off and done extraordinary things with their musical career, and some have stayed more low-key, keeping a local fan base.

 

One outstanding artist that I had an opportunity of working with was Geoff McBride. If any of you are fans of ‘The Voice’ then this name should ring a bell. After his…

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!!

Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz

Mahanthappa brings an explosive blend of jazz and South Indian classical music to the studio.

Grady Tate On Piano Jazz

Grady Tate began his jazz career as a much-celebrated drummer, backing such icons as Wes Montgomery, Ella Fitzgerald, and Quincy Jones. Tate has since traded in his skins for a microphone at center stage, where he delivers smooth and soulful baritone vocals. With pianist John di Martino, Tate sings "Everybody Loves My Baby" and "Where Do You Start."

Woody Herman At 100: 'A Blues Player From His Heart'

He was a soulful reedman, an amazing talent scout for decades and a bandleader of one of the country's most popular acts. Born in 1913, Herman led "Thundering Herds" that were both big draws and well-respected by the likes of Igor Stravinsky. Here are five recordings which still sound fresh today.

Edmar Castañeda And Friends On JazzSet

Hear passionate improvisation across borders on Colombian harp, Argentinian bandoneón, Venezuelan cuatro and vibes from the U.S. In a set with Castañeda, his trio and special guests perform at the Americas Society in New York.

Miguel Zenón Quartet: Live At The Village Vanguard

Ever since he started becoming one of the best alto saxophone players in the world, Zenón has drawn from his upbringing in Puerto Rico. But, like many Puerto Ricans, Zenón lives in New York — where his quartet of 10 years has finally been invited to play the Vanguard. It presents new music in concert.
