Wood II is the 2006 album by Brian Bromberg. This was released by Artistry Music.

As a result of many years of successful producing of Kool&Klean series this album a compilation of the best tracks so far from 6 previous albums. The continued success of Kool&Klean genre is a result of talented approach and gently applied music craft by the mastermind Konstantin Klashtorni. His music feels like a soothing immersion into a musical mineral bath – a truly relaxing yet still sensual and romantic jaunt into the chill side of smooth urban jazz.

Love, funk and Jazz radiate from the music of saxman and composer Carl Harris. In his compositions as well as his performances, Carl uses his life experiences to weave musical stories and melodies while engaging the music genres of R&B, pop and jazz as a means to produce powerful soul-searching contemporary jazz music.

Born into a musical family, Matt Galletti has been drawn to music his entire life. His father, also a drummer,played drums and owned a recording studio in the Philadelphia area in the 70’s along with his brother, who was a guitar player. Matt grew up in Upper Darby, PA, listening to music by The Beatles, Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, Toto and various other bands and styles, while learning the fundamentals of drums and music in school. When Matt got to high school, he found himself enamored with the marching band, jazz ensemble, indoor drumline, orchestra, band and choir.

"Lilac Skies" is the fourth album from award-winning composer/guitarist Shambhu, and what an incredibly good album it is! Something of a hybrid of new age and jazz genres, the overall vibe of the ten original tracks is relaxed and upbeat. The title itself means “infinite love” - “Lilac” is the color of love and “Skies” are the infinite and endless possibilities. Shambhu sums it up well in this quote: “This music is dedicated to lifting us up inside. Relax, groove, dance, enjoy and love.” Eight of the ten pieces were recorded at the legendary Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA and two were recorded at Todd Boston’s Magic Cottage Studios in Marin County, CA; Boston also mixed the album.

1st Facet is the opening album for Chillaxonic series produced and recorded by mastermind of successful Smooth Jazz series Kool&Klean - Konstantin Klashtorni. Getting slightly in different direction of Chill and Lounge however without loosing own sound signature, Konstantin implements here different sound and mixing techniques as well as masterly combining live instruments with electronic. The music of Chillaxonic can be described as a melodic crossover between Jazz Chill Lounge and Electronica with combination of live instruments. Easy listening, soothing and relaxing.

A second edition on 2CD for a long-running, popular series that was for many years available only digitally. A stunning line-up of instrumentalists and vocalists with a seamless soundtrack of 30 tracks guaranteed to enhance - or bring to mind - the relaxing pleasure of a scenic drive. Among the highlights are Jonathan Butler's "10 Degrees South", "A Universal Vibe" by Down To The Bone, "Winelight" by Jason Miles featuring Gerald Albright, and "Retro Boy" by Richard Elliot. The vocalists featured include Brenda Russell, India Arie, Hil St Soul and Natalie Williams.

By Three, Bob James – the pianist, composer, and arranger – was deep into jazz-funk. The five tracks here reflect his obsession with hard, danceable grooves that take as much from the soul-jazz book as they do his years with CTI. Using many of the same session players he bonded with at his former label – including Eric Gale, Hugh McCracken, Hubert Laws, Will Lee, and Harvey Mason – and a large host of stellar horn players (among them Lew Soloff and Jon Faddis), James offers five selections of simple but fun jazz-pop.

This 1981 recording is an excellent example of David Sanborn's music. The highly influential altoist is joined by familiar studio veterans (including guitarist Hiram Bullock and drummer Steve Gadd) with bassist/composer Marcus Miller being a key figure in creating the funky rhythms and colorful backgrounds. Miller, who shared the writing chores with Sanborn, not only contributed his powerful bass, but backed the altoist during a duet version of "Just for You" on piano. Easily recommended to fans of R&B-ish jazz.

Released in 1980, Hideaway earned David Sanborn fame beyond that of the average studio musician, and rightfully so. Many releases by studio musicians suffer from weak compositions and overproduction, including some albums by Sanborn himself. However, Hideaway features a stripped-down, funky sound that showcases the artist's passionate and distinctive saxophone sound. This includes two tunes co-written with Michael McDonald and the "love theme" from the motion picture American Gigolo, appropriately entitled "The Seduction." All eight tunes on Hideaway are winners.

This album is the second of a series of jazz-funk classics (along with One, Three and BJ4). Released in 1975, this album charted at number two on the Jazz Album Charts. The track "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" is one of the most widely used tracks in hip-hop breakbeat samples.

Following the success of their latest album we are proud to release this double CD compilation of "Christmas Eve" and "The Christmas Album" plus a bonus track, and Christmas messages from Bill and Jill. Shakatak have enjoyed a level of success and career longevity rarely paralleled in contemporary music but then Shakatak is a particularly unusual group. Because of the nature of their music their fan base is one that is far reaching while always retaining an “underground” element. This paradox sees the band, who are known primarily for their musicality, enjoying both high “cult” status and instant recognition as a household name due to their numerous hit recordings. Throughout their 31 year career Shakatak have released over 50 CDs plus 3 DVDs.
