notes
Upbeat, refreshing, timeless jazz originals that are catchy and melodic, a superb mix of jazz with RnB, latin and funk. "Jazz in the Air" is a modern day jazz combo following in the tradition of musical greats such as Joe Sample, Stan Getz, Grover Washington Jr., Wes Montgomery, JJ Johnson, Sonny Rollins, and many others. The music on the “When I Dream” CD comes alive with pulse and enthusiasm. Unlike most CDs, every track on this CD is good.
“Jazz in the Air” is composer/bassist Bob Sabourin, tenor saxophonist Kenji Kikuchi, trombonist Jerome Smith, alto saxophonist and flutist Stephanie Stone, pianist Joseph Reid, guitarist Ken Willinger and drummer Dave Ellis. They perform live throughout the greater Boston area at concerts, restaurants and private functions.
The latest "Jazz in the Air" CD "When I Dream" offers 10 new original tunes by composer/bassist Bob Sabourin.
1. "Love is a Fairy Tale" is a straight ahead jazz tune that is warm and easy-to-listen-to, featuring tenor saxophonist Kenji Kikuchi and guitarist Ken Willinger.
2. "Miracle" has a modern, mystical sound featuring keyboardist Joe Reid, trombonist Jerome Smith, and flutist Stephanie Stone.
3. "Bossa Nova for Lovers" is a smooth, catchy love song that you can't resist.
4. Title track "When I Dream" was first written as a vocal ballad and has been arranged here into an upbeat swing tune featuring solos on trombone by Jerome Smith, alto sax by Stephanie Stone, and piano by Joe Reid.
5. "Walkin the Blues" is an RnB style tune that moves with a funky beat and includes solos by Kenji Kikuchi on tenor sax, Ken Willinger on guitar, and Bob Sabourin on bass guitar.
6. "Don't Stop Now" is a straight ahead upbeat jazz tune with solos on bass guitar by Bob Sabourin, tenor sax by Kenji Kikuchi, guitar by Ken Willinger and the band trading fours with Dave Ellis on drums.
7. "I Love You More Every Day" is a beautiful ballad written by Bob for his wife, Donna. Stephanie Stone's performance on the alto sax is soulful and moving, accompanied by pianist Joe Reid and trombonist Jerome Smith.
8. "Innocence" is a samba that features flutist Stephanie Stone and trombonist Jerome Smith.
9. "High Energy" brings the horn section to life with ripping solos by Jerome Smith on trombone and Kenji Kikuchi on tenor sax.
10. The final track on the CD is "Dance of Life" which is a song written in 6/4 meter that has the feel of a jazz waltz and features fine solos by Ken Willinger on guitar, Kenji Kikuchi on tenor sax and Jerome Smith on trombone.

The jazz is EXCELLENT. Really enjoy "Don't Stop Now." My "cocktail" on the commute home from work.

Great variety in songs/instruments. Really liked how different songs featured embedded solos of the different musicians. Found myself tapping and eventually strutting around to the beat. Will be a favorite.

Solid performance! Lyrical, expressive solo work with well thought out melodic lines. Upbeat - with an airy feel. I flat out like it. Bottom line - these Cats can play.
