Smooth Jazz Awards Collection, Vol. 2 Poster
Once again Native Language Music brings together Smooth Jazz Award-nominated artists in this second greatest hits collection of smooth jazz's chart-topping hits. This album features eleven smooth and popular tracks from artists such as Urban Knights, Jeff Lorber, Richard Elliot, Peter White, Jeff Kashiwa, Joyce Cooling, Chuck Loeb and Spyro Gyra. Also included is the all-new re-make of Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" by saxophonist Everette Harp and bass phenom Brian Bromberg. The collection is the companion CD to the 3rd Annual Smooth Jazz Awards which will take place in San Diego, CA on March 2, 2002.If there's one constant on smooth-jazz radio throughout America, it's that guitars and saxophones rule. This 12-song compilation reflects that standard with tracks from well-known horn players such as Richard Elliot and Jay Beckenstein from Spyro Gyra, as well as newcomers like Euge Groove and Paul Weimar, who is professionally known as Shilts. The guitarists include Chuck Loeb, Peter White, and Joyce Cooling, but the horn players dominate. The best tracks are right up front where they should be. The only unreleased track, a hot cover of Michael Jackson's hit, "Rock with You," by the sax/bass guitar duo of Everette Harp and Brian Bromberg, leads off the disc. Dave Koz, the big winner at the second awards show, follows with a soaring take on the Urban Knights' "Dancing Angels," and the fourth track has maybe the best sax performance, with Gerald Albright playing on Jeff Lorber's "Snakebite." Most of the tracks aren't from new albums of the respective artists, but from earlier ones instead. That doesn't hinder this album from playing like your favorite smooth-jazz station. --Mark Ruffin
