Immutable Laws of the Universe
Boney James hits yet another out of the
park with "The Way She Walks" (Peak/CMG). The saxophonist's
alluring, melodic in-pocket groove receives ample support from Christian
Scott's subtle, yet engaging horn figures ... New artist/acoustic guitarist
Lawson Rollins serves up two versions of the tasty Brazilian-flavored
offering "Infinita" (Infinita/Baja/TSR), one featuring the
legendary Flora Purim's timeless vocals, plus a radio edit sans vocal
... Guitarist Les Sabler, an artist worthy of far greater notice by
smooth jazz, delivers the goods on his rollicking "Sweet Drive" (Music
Force) ... Will Donato's "Law of Attraction" (Innervision)
combines his assertive doubled saxophones on a charming mid-tempo tune
with a memorable hook. Must Donato pay endless dues before he receives
suitable recognition from smooth jazz radio? ... Extra-curricular listening: "Cannon
Re-Loaded" (Concord Music Group). Mercy!
