The first two samplings give a better view of the music that’s on the video.
Hope you like it, his use of the sax and flute are so well done, along with the guitar, I am true fan now that I was able to find his music. (Thank God for the internet!)
I don’t know, I love jazz of the Chet Baker/ Ella Fitzgerald/Charlie Parker variety, but whenever I hear this light jazz stuff…the first minute or so I like it. Then I begin to get strangely disoriented - where’s the porn? What “Bowm schicka bowm bowm” is to hard core, soft jazz is to soft-core, Skin-a-max porn.
The cool thing is, he doesn’t get off track with his music, for the most part. I have heard a lot of “soft jazz” that seems to be disjointed and you can’t tell where they are going, but somehow this guy has a better grasp on it.
There are no lyrics, so when you just want to kick back and enjoy music that is kinda funky, but not overly done, he’s your man.
Here are my favorite bands/artists that I enjoy listening to on a mellow night at home:
Sade
Sting
Steely Dan
Micheal Hedges
George Winston
Liz Story
But I would like to get more “soft jazz” any artists in this arena, no lyrics though, there are times when lyrics get in the way of good music
Being more of a big band afficianado, I prefer the Charlie Parker/Count Basie sound.
Also the recordings the Marsalis Bros. made with the Grateful Dead (most notably Eyes of the World on the Dead’s Without A Net concert CD) are awesome.
You are now leaving a “Smiley-free zone”!

His music is a combo of sultry, funk and well, it feels good. It’s, like I said, not disjointed.
If you can, check out the CD at a local music store. There are some out there that let you listen before you buy.
Heck, music is a very personal experience for everyone, I know too well. I like all kinds of music.
Some laugh because I like; Country, Classic Rock, Hard Rock, New Age, Soft Jazz, Classical and some Pop…but hey why restrict yourself to one particular type of music. Each type serves a different mood for me The one thing I don’t like is Rap…no no no, not in my house or car, you will be pummeled with my fists.
