J. Plunky Branch, saxophonist, brings some sweet soulful sounds to his CD, "Saxy Mellow Moments," a nice collection of smooth jazz! Tonya Lazenby-Jackson performs smoothly and elegantly with her keyboard work and it would be nice to hear what she could achieve on a solo CD!

Anthony Ingram gets in some very nice work on guitar, and all the musicians on this CD perform well together, and their harmonic interlacing of instrumental melodies is excellent. "Saxy Mellow Moments" is a relaxing jazz adventure that should appeal to all jazz listeners.

There are 12 selections on this CD, and one very enjoyable outing is the J.Plunky Branch & Tonya Lazenby-Jackson composition, "When & Where You..." Other songs include "I Believe I Can Fly," "Dreamscape," "The Open Door," among others. An interesting song that should catch the listeners ears with its subtle melody and harmony is "Mellow Celestial Blues," with Ras Mel Glover on guitar. If you are looking for something fresh, mellow, invigorating and exciting, then "Saxy Mellow Moments" is for you! Saxophonist Branch is at his best in this mellow CD. A really nice CD for easy listening jazz!
