Smooth Jazz Hits

by SMOOTH JAZZ HITS / VARIOUS

Overview

Smooth Jazz Hits collects 12 laid-back, smooth tracks released on the Concord label from Chuck Loeb, Najee, and Boney James, alongside Kenny G's "Tango," Paul Brown's, "Ol' Skoolin'" and Norman Brown's "Pop's Cool Groove." While the packaging is drab, this is a good bargain for the budget-conscious. ~ Al Campbell
