Smooth Jazz Therapy

U-Nam - Surface Level

With choice albums such as ‘C’est Le Funk’, ‘Weekend in L.A (A Tribute To George Benson’ and ‘First Class’ (from his side project Groove Ltd) Smooth Jazz Therapy favorite U-Nam has been restoring much needed energy into the music we call smooth jazz. Earlier this year he again sent shockwaves through the genre with ‘Going for Miles’, the advance single from his latest project ‘Surface Level’ and now the complete album has been released the great news is that it has been more than worth the wait.

Preston Smith - Endless Melodies

Trumpeter Preston Smith has long been a staple of the Houston music scene and, with his new single ‘Endless Melodies’, is the latest artist to be given a voice by the superb Skytown Records.

Featuring Darryl McCoy Jr. on guitar and Will Fortune on sax this uplifting slice of smooth jazz, which was written by Cory James, seems set to launch Smith onto the road to contemporary jazz stardom.

Great track.

Peter White - Do I Do

Arguably the most globally recognized of any (and I mean any) smooth jazz artist, guitarist Peter White will release his latest album, ‘Groovin’, on October 28 via Heads Up, a division of Concord Music Group.

Despite it being White’s third collection of hugely personal interpretations of timeless hits, if his previous efforts (‘Reflections’ in 1994 and ‘Playin' Favorites’ that followed twelve years later) are anything to go by then ‘Groovin’ seems all set to be the contemporary jazz event of 2016 bar none.
