No new comer to Smooth Jazz, Grady Nichols’ sixth solo album, DESTINATIONS, will be the one that puts him squarely on the map as a major contender in the next wave of sax stars. DESTINATIONS is everything that Smooth Jazz should be in the new world and takes us everywhere that we want to go... from urban to urbane, from soulful to soul-stirring. The project is exciting right from the start with the fresh single “London Baby!” featuring a sexy, energetic vibe that will make you want to party in style. Highlights include the swaggering, “You Know Me” with vocal contributions from Bill Champlin (Chicago, Sons of Champlin), a passionate cover of Journey’s “Faithfully,” “Superman,” a killer original that sounds like a Top 40 hit featuring Teel Merrick, plus, the Jeff Lorber produced, “You With Me.” Grady Nichols embosses his brand of Smooth Jazz with an Americana signature, by including heartland instruments (banjo, pedal steel guitar, mandolin) on cool, cosmopolitan tunes with sophistication and style! DESTINATIONS is a go! ~SANDY SHORE
