BROTHER 2 BROTHER FEATURING CARTER CARTER – CAN I TAKE YOU THERE

Move over, Philly! Siblings Winston and Charles (Chaz) Carter - collectively known as Brother 2 Brother featuring Carter Carter - are declaring their hometown of Pittsburgh the official city of Brotherly Jazz. The electric guitar and drummer duo backs their boldness with a list of prime opening gigs (Cameo, Bobby Brown, Angela Bofill, Parliament Funkadelic) and a tight, melodic, in the pocket debut Can I Take You There. Helmed by producer Chuck Cymone - who has done projects with Chris Standring, Eric Darius, Peter White, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliot - the song set spotlights the Carter's prowess on their respective instruments and creates an inviting, sonically expansive world full of sultry contemporary jazz and R&B. When Brother 2 Brother asks, Can I Take You There, you're gonna say yes! ~ smoothjazz.com

JAZMIN GHENT – CHOCOLATE SUNSHINE

Rising star saxophonist, Jazmin Ghent's sophomore album, Chocolate Sunshine, is a languid, jazzy experience. This young woman stole the hearts of contemporary jazz fans onboard 2014's Smooth Jazz Cruise, where she won the onboard talent competition and played with Boney James and Candy Dulfer. This Smooth Jazz Go Girl is touring and performing at jazz festivals all over the U.S. as a new, solo sensation, including Newport Beach Jazz Festival, Orlando Jazz Festival, Steel City Jazz Festival, Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival, JazzDiego, Capital Jazz and many more! Chocolate Sunshine is sophisticated and fashionable, with hand-picked guests such as hit-maker Jonathan Fritzén; groove master, bassist Julian Vaughn; in-demand guitarist, Adam Hawley; and critically-acclaimed, saxophonist Nelson Rangell. Her brand new single, Adele's "Hello" featuring Paul Brown is also produced by Paul Brown, showcasing Jazmin's playing in an entirely new light... this compelling and jazzy re-imagining of one of the biggest songs of all time, is certain to connect Ms. Ghent with listeners all over the world! ~ smoothjazz.com

KENNY POLSON – PARADISE VOL. 1

After earning four college degrees and teaching for years everywhere from Bogota and Rio to Beijing, saxophonist and composer Kenney Polson returns to recording and performing music full time with the release of an album whose title perfectly describes the listening experience: Paradise, Vol. 1. Drawing on his passions for jazz, new age, Latin, R&B, funk and gospel, Polson creates a spirited, soulful mix of melodic tunes, jazzy riffs and dreamy atmospheres with top Brazilian musicians he has recorded with previously. In all, the versatile musical force of nature has visited and performed in over 50 countries. He pools all those magical experiences and vibes together to create a true musical Paradise! Best of all, the second half of the album title promises there's more to come! ~ smoothjazz.com
