Complete with a barrage of velvety horns ‘Da Spot’ by guitarist and ace producer Paul Brown is the latest single to be lifted from his 2022 CD ‘Promised Land’. His ninth solo project and the first (not counting his 2021 collaboration with Larry Carlton) since 2020, it is a tight ten-track collection of original compositions embellished as usual with contributions from his inner circle of backing musicians plus input from some of the biggest names in smooth jazz. ‘Da Spot’, which is of one of six tunes written or co-written by multi instrumentalist Shane Theriot, certainly does hit ‘da’ smooth jazz ‘spot’.
