City

Paul Brown, the oft-imitated but never equaled producer, composer and arranger, has been the primary architect of Smooth Jazz’s urban sound for close to 15 years. Last year, he took his talents one step further to wow listeners with his GRP solo debut, Up Front. Brown follows up last year’s success with The City, a new collection of funky tunes equally inspired by the desire to excite a crowd and by the new chill music that is evolving into a subgenre of contemporary jazz. 2005.
