BLAKE AARON
“a genius on the guitar” - The Los Angeles Times
There is something magical and irresistibly chemically attractive about the way a woman sways, and every woman has her own special way. Like her fingerprint, or the music of her voice, her sway is enchanting and unique to her. This song is a tribute to the fascination of watching a woman sway. Sexy, sensual, mid-tempo grooves, with horn section weetened, guitar driven melodies, “The Way You Sway” will bring out the special, sexy “sway” in every woman. Self-produced and written by Blake Aaron, with the best musicians in LA, “The Way You Sway” was written on a cold night in January, dreaming of the warmth of an outdoor tropical Jazz Festival the upcoming summer would bring. If you can imagine Earth Wind and Fire, Bruno Mars, Tower of Power, and George Benson all playing on the same stage together at one time on a hot summer night, with the entire audience grooving together in sync, you can imagine “The Way You Sway.”

For "Sapphire Cove", I took inspiration from my West Coast guitar heroes of jazz funk, fusion, and the LA studio scene: Larry Carlton, Paul Brown, and Robben Ford, combined with my love of the blues, groove, and contemporary jazz. It was a pleasure to work with someone I consider one of the new masters - smooth jazz hit maker Adam Hawley.

With inviting, optimistic song titles like “Up So High” and a highly anticipated new full length album called Take Me Higher on Innervision Records, vocalist and songwriter Aysha takes her sexy, sensual style = which she dubs “smooth R&B with a jazzy edge” - to the next level, vibing in the studio with a dynamic mix of some of the top artists and producers in contemporary urban jazz to ensure the perfect flow and expression of where she is as an artist and performer in 2015.

Hub City Jam is named for my hometown of Lubbock, TX. Lubbock has been nicknamed the 'Hub' of the plains for years. It is known for it's rich heritage of music, and it's where life began for myears all the way through college were spent in this area, and now that my parents have passed away and we sold the homestead, I wanted to pay tribute to my roots in west Texas. This single and memories I created with family and friends. I enlisted my fellow label mate, perennial Billboard chart topper Blake Aaron, to produce this track, and asked my friend Rick Braun to add his inawesome time bringing my original idea to life, and the listener will have to get up and move once this track begins!!

"The Thing Is..." is a mid tempo feel good, musical conversation, groove produced by Billboard chart Topper, label mate Blake Aaron. Many times when a conversation is going and someone wants to make a point. They will say, The Thing is…… To make a validpoint. That is what this song is all about, making a musical valid point, that will grab your attention, and immediately be noticed.
BLAIR BRYANT
The new tune "Summit," by bassist and multi-instrumentalist Blair Bryant is a unique, feel good, bass driven jam. Bryant contributes drums, bass and keyboards on the track. This high-energy, happy tune is an ear-worm, with a hook that drives the beat AND your feet! Perfect for summer fun, this lush, bouncy, bass and piano track will get you movin' and groovin' as only Blair Bryant can.
