Rhythm & Romance

A tropical pivot for the smooth jazz icon. Polished soprano saxophone melodies meet gentle salsa, tango, and bossa nova rhythms for a sunset-soaked experience.

February 5, 2008 · Concord Records

A sophisticated and sun-drenched blend of romantic longing and gentle rhythmic movement.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the fluid sax melody into a sharp, syncopated percussion break on Sax-o-loco.

The way the nylon-string guitar trade-offs mirror the saxophone's phrasing during the bridge of Sabor a mí.

The extended, breathy sustain of the final note on Bésame mucho that seems to hang in the air indefinitely.
