Sweet, Sensual and Mellow

All tracks make for a smooth, sensual and mellow feeling. Kind of makes me want to lie down and relax. Beats a boredom even when am on road travelling abroad. A must have.

Hired as: Jazz Band

What to expect

Mix of smooth, African & Contemporary Jazz fused in symphonic portions. The stage is always heated...

About

On a mission to completing an EP, R. J. followed with Childhood which involves a touch of symphony - mixing symphony, jazz/smooth, chorale, contemporary urban sounds & hip-hop style - to yield 'Symphonic Urban Contempo'. Is it too much for your comprehension? Just term it Symphonic Jazz & never mind, but enjoy...!

Influences and inspiration

I got my influence from my folks who raised me teaching me indigenous sounds, songs and rhythms. How I like it when one focuses on their own culture.
