The Knoxville Jazz Orchestra's latest release is no ordinary community based jazz recording. This CD is extraordinary in that it was conceived, composed and produced by one of the brightest minds in jazz music today: Donald Brown. Features Stefon Harris, John Clayton, Donald Brown, Greg Tardy, Bill Mobley, Vance Thompson, Thomas Heflin and the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra.
J-Mood Jazz Band takes these holiday classics for a fresh spin through the winter snow. These superstar musicians have a warm, inviting vibe that is irresistible. The interplay between the piano sax and vocals is remarkable. Note the opening track, "Jingle Bells". This standard melody jumps to life as the conversation between Mr. Carrozza's piano and Mrs. Carrozza's vocals commences. The listener is eventually carried away when guest saxophonist Sam Skelton chimes in with his smooth, rich solo response.
