‘Seasons’ from sax-man Art Sherrod Jr is his second studio CD and follows ‘All 4 Love’ that was released in 2005. It represents a significant step on a musical journey that began in his native Texas, continued in Maryland and, along the way, has allowed him to share the stage with such smooth jazz luminaries as Natalie Cole, Angie Stone, Will Downing, Marion Meadows, Norman Connors, Phil Perry, Chuck Loeb, Kim Waters, Najee, Roy Ayers, Pieces of a Dream, Everette Harp and Bob Baldwin. In fact ‘Seasons’ includes contributions from several of these A-list performers but rather than puzzling at just how Sherrod has managed to assemble so many great artists in the same place at the same time, it is adequate to luxuriate in the sublime artistry his musicality so effortlessly engenders.
