Smooth Sax At It's Best...

Another collection of mainly originals, including my smooth jazz version of the old Lovin' Spoonful tune, Groovin'. I play a lot of the instruments on this album, but I also had a lot of help, and I love the way it sounds. Very smooth and upbeat, but with very relaxed vibe over all.

I was lucky enough to twice play the National Anthem at a Los Angeles Lakers game - this was during the Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar period - and as I was a HUGE Lakers fan at the time it was a HUGE honor for me. In fact, I've played the solo sax version of The Star Spangled Banner about a thousand times; one day I decided to do an actual band arrangement of it. It's on this album and I call it "Spangled Banner". It includes an amazing synth solo by Steve Weingart.

With the exception of Groovin', I wrote all the songs but these: Floating was composed by the guitarist on this album, Sanjay Divecha; Sweet Caitlin was composed by Barry Kettery.

As a random addendum to this album, I suggest you do these things:

Embrace the Infinite!
Take the Road Less Travelled!
Don't hurt Children!
Notice the Beauty around you!
Look Upward and Outward!
Relax...
Let your Hair down.
Be True to the ones you love!
Enjoy your Freedom!
Live in the Moment!
Be Romantic!

Enjoy!

What Our Fan Say...

"We played "Thank You For Loving Me" from your Always CD during our wedding ceremony last weekend and we wanted to share with you that it was just the perfect song. It created a very romantic ambiance that was just right for the moment when Cindy walked down the aisle. Thanks for the suggestion and for your music. You helped make our special day special." ~Sandy & Cindy Jamison, Reno, NV

"We love your music. We recently purchased Always as a download, and love it. With the cds we are purchasing today we will have all of your CDs except Kokopeli, and one Christmas CD. Thank You for the great music." ~Vicky M., Ann Arbor, MI

"Whenever I drive I like to put on some upbeat smooth grooves to help me get where I'm going. Your CD, Always, has become one of my favorites. It gets me going! I love your version of "Groovin'' and also your version of the National Anthem. Cool stuff, my man. Keep "Groovin"!" ~Robert Samuelson, Redondo Beach, CA
