Metropolitan Jazz Affair: Bird of Spring (2007)

This is what I call an afternoon unique smooth jazz.

Light and subtle, MJA gives birth to a springtime jazz. Crystallized with the insets of Hard Bop, stirred with US soul, flirting with hip-hop, this project brings jazz back to the hip-shaking dancefloor (Escapism). Like in the 60's, when Cannonball "Buckshot LeFonque" Adderley liked to see jazz get down, get up and sweat. The "Affair" has always had this frightening effectiveness.
