Paul Brown has produced some of smooth jazz' greatest, including Boney James, Kirk Whalum, Peter White, Rick Braun, Larry Carlton, Richard Elliott, Euge Groove and Norman Brown. He has worked with many instrumentalists and with a lot of fine vocalists.
This time Paul Brown returns to his first love of performing as he debuts on Peak Records with this album , which can be titled " Paul Brown & Friends". These "friends" include Al Jarreau, Boney James, Bobby Caldwell, Lina, Euge Groove, Rick Braun, Jeff Lorber, Jesse J. and David Benoit. Brown takes inspiration from the 60's, as the songs' titles indicate, creating a very distinctive, vintage sound, which is an instant classic.
"White Sand" really represents where Paul is now musically on the guitar and has a lot of influences from people he has listened to over the years. It is not a ground-breaking album, nothing is really innovative or edgy here. Yet the sound is perfect, so is the production. It seems that Paul is having a lot of fun on this CD, playing fantastically with "his friends". Paul Brown's music has been a presence on smooth jazz radio for many years and people are still liking what he previously recorded. This is another album that will please his own fans and will continue to make a mark on smooth jazz for years to come.
