This month's musical celebration would fall painfully short if I did not include my favorite genre...smooth jazz. As a former saxophonist, you can understand why jazz holds a special place in my heart.
However, it also holds this place because, as odd as it may seem, it was the music of my childhood. Seldom did my Dad not have some kind of jazz music playing in the background at our house. My love for this genre has only increased as I've become exposed to a wider variety of artists, each with their own unique sound.
The song that I will feature today is played by Brian Culbertson, a pianist of, in my opinion, the first degree. He has a sound that is completely his own, that you could identify anywhere.
This song, Dreaming of You, is the epitome of mellow...it puts the smooth in smooth jazz!
"...Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: Thus slowly one by one, it's quaint events were hammered out- and now the tale is done...the dream child moving through a land of wonders wild and new, In friendly chat with bird
or beast-and half believe it true..." -Lewis Carroll
