If Justin Young’s name and face ring a bell to southern Californians, you may have seen him during a recent guest appearance on the KTLA Morning News in Los Angeles. The Detroit bred, Los Angeles-based saxophonist burst on the jazz scene after an impressive win at the 2007 Capital Jazz New Artist Challenge in Columbia, Maryland. Since then Justin was asked to join Boney James, Brian Culbertson, Kim Waters and other jazz stars during the six-day Capital Jazz SuperCruise. The versatile 28-year old performer debuted onto the national circuit with his solo album On The Way. The album features collaborations with guitarists Paul Brown, Tim Bowman, and keyboardist Tom Schuman of Spyro Gyra. Driven by strong national airplay for the tracks “JY Funky”, “New Day” “Sunny” and “LuvHandles”, On The Way debuted at #25 on the Smooth Indie Star Chart and #5 on the Smoothjazz.com Spincrease Chart. Justin, who began playing the sax professionally at age 16, performed around the Motor City while attending Michigan State University. He was a frequent headliner at Detroit casinos and performed the national anthem at Comerica Park, the home of the Detroit Tigers. He also opened numerous local shows for contemporary jazz stars Norman Brown and Nick Colionne, as well as Earth, Wind & Fire and The Temptations. Justin was honored to open for Dave Koz in Detroit at his July, 2008 summer concert in Detroit. Look for Justin in the fall when he performs with guitarist Peter White.

    From the vibrant bounce of sunny, the smoothness of LuvHandles, the cool head bobbing of A Minor Groove, the power of JY Funky, the hope of New Day, to the sheer funk of Expressway 94, this Cd is awesome. You may have thought Justin Young was on the way, I say he's arrived.

    I'd give Justin's CD ten stars if I could. Every song on this CD is out of the park and totally radio worthy. Although, I do have my favorites like JY Funky, Sunny and Hanna. This is a CD that every smooth jazz and easy listening music fan should have. The only time I don't listen to it is when I tune in to the jazz station to listen if they will play Justin's CD. I predict that they will play this music very soon. Good luck at the Grammy's! I'll see you there.

    When I first listened to this CD on the web site, I knew I just had to add it to my collection. Every arrangement is so very well put together and very soothing to the ear. Every cut on it is FANTASTIC. I would recommend this CD to every jazz listener on the face of this planet. Thank you so very much.
