"This Way" is the new contemporary jazz CD by Darryl Alexander. Exotic, lyrical, soulful, melodic, with an urban edge are the words which best describe This Way, which blends smooth jazz with samba, funk, quiet storm, and hip hop into a delightful, soulful mix. Saxophonist Mark Earley rejoins Darryl in his latest effort, along with pianist Alton Merrell, guitarist Ken Karsh of Alanna Records, saxophonist Kenny Blake, keyboardist and gold record recording engineer Pete Tokar, bassist and guitarist Wilber Krebs, and bassist Fred Ervin.
Diamond In The Sky is an engaging mixture of smooth jazz, samba, gospel, hip hop, fusion and soul featuring excellent soloists. This CD also features two selections(Ancient of Days, Plumb Line) which are favorites of the Christian/Gospel community. Diamond In the Sky features 11 songs with soulful performances by Heads Up International artist and saxophonist Kenny Blake, Billboard charting pianist/trumpeter Kim Pensyl, Guitarist Ken Karsh, and Gloria Estefan saxophonist Kenny Anderson.
17th Street is the debut smooth jazz CD by Darryl Alexander, with a decidedly urban edge, and soulful, yet playful melodies, and features performances by Mark Early on saxophone, Gary Boggess on keyboards,Teddy Pantelas on guitar, and Vince Hathaway, the cousin of Lala Hathaway, on keyboards.
