Jazz (word of English origin, written sometimes jazzy, pronounced in Romanian GEZ or gas [1]) is a style of music emerged in the early twentieth century in the southern states of U.S.

I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz super group Acoustic Alchemy for you with just one word, Outstanding!

Some people have commented that this is not an album for a Phish fan. This album is more of an example of Trey’s great musical talent in guitar and arrangement. That this album is not one band musicianship put a showcase of guitar playing and loss jamming.

I accidentally discovered this loving tribute to composer, Ivan Lins, a few years ago and immediately fell in love with it. Ivan Lins melodies evoke warm summer night, cool breezes, and star-filled skies. They make you want to stay and stay. From Sting's haunting "She Walks This Earth" to the effervescent "Ellis (Leva E Tranz)" from Peter White, I want to listen over and over and over. Of course, there is a track from Ivan Lins himself -- "Somos Todos Iquais Nesta Noite" -- that had become a favorite of mine as soon as I heard it years before by Lee Ritenour on the Color Rit under the translated title "All the Same Tonight."
