Chris Standring "Groovalicious" Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Smooth Jazz artist Chris Standring has released his CD entitled Groovalicious. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Chris Standring fans, and Smooth Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Groovalicious Chris Standring's artistic excellence is on full display as he has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be his best work to date.

Chris Standring has been a super star in the Smooth Jazz genre for quite a while now and Groovalicious is an excellent illustration as to why.

If you're a Chris Standring fan, or just a fan of Smooth Jazz music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2, Miss Downtown Sugar Girl, track 6, Gentle Persuasion, and track 12, Shadow Dance.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 4, Say What?!. This is a great track!
