Right back when they were both in their early teens, Smooth Jazz Therapy favorite Jonathan Fritzen and his friend Alex Crown would hold jam sessions, fool around with jazz harmonies, improvise and create a bond that today still stands strong. In fact Alex has appeared on several of Fritzén's records, and can be heard as featured guitarist on the hit single ‘Melting’ from his 2010 album ‘Diamonds’.
Both are from Stockholm, Sweden where guitarist Crown has worked as a freelance musician for the last 15 years. He has also been the driving force as composer, producer and musician for the music project Sonic Station, which has released two albums.
Now, with the highly anticipated release of his first solo album ‘For Obvious Reasons’, it could be argued that this is Crown’s time. The CD is already being trailed by the singles ‘The Last Straw’ and the equally good title track. It is one of four tracks co-written by and featuring Fritzen and well worth checking out.
