Whatâs new in the Jazz scene? Brian Johnsonâs âMystic Cove.â It is the long awaited musical and lyrical soundscape for the smooth Jazz market that flows like a fresh water stream. A mix of well known musicians like Russ Freeman, Eric Hansen, Jeff Kashiwa, Sammy Figueroa, and others with Brianâs effortless symphonic jazz create catchy breaks with dynamic horn and percussion parts and pop/ballad feel along with complex chords. One cannot help but admire this stunningly innovative mix of pop melodies blended with jazz-style playing. Gargantuan production, along with experienced producing facilitate to give the album a big but well balanced sound. Jeff Kashiwaâs smooth sax style just falls into place nicely with the Brianâs composition on âHope Townâ as well as Eric Hansenâs unique classical guitar feel in âAlmostâ and the organic feel of âSmooth.â The album also boasts a funky undertone that demands attention and with the percussive foundation of Sammy Figueroaâs Latin twist just screams of sophisticated beats. Having had the chance to show her incomparable vocalist chops, Tomey Sellars can't resist letting her trademark voice sail into the stratosphere as she does in the popish jazz ballad song of "Almost." The immediacy of the horns dancing with the rhythmic counterpoint gives listeners the sense that they are experiencing a live performance in a late-night hip jazz club. Great engineers, mixing talent like Marko Ruffolo, good studios, and other great musiciansâ make this album also a well balanced but exciting attention keeper. Such concepts are the basis for his unique music and the album signals the arrival of an unmistakable new sound in Jazz music.
