‘Beautiful Day’ from the ubiquitous Michael Paulo is a fine collection of familiar favourites, jazz classics and original compositions that, not surprisingly for an artist who has been on the scene for almost thirty five years, includes stellar performances by many of his smooth jazz friends. The latest single to be selected from it is ‘Back With The Funk’ that is mixed by hit maker Paul Brown and features Paul Jackson Jr. Jr. on guitar plus Freddie Washington on bass, Brian Simpson on keys and Michael White on drums.
This swaggering number is a real winner and a great showcase for Paulo’s tight playing on sax.
