Once best known for his tours with the late rapper Coolio and appearances on the popular web series “Cookin’ With Coolio,” multi-faceted saxophonist Jarez is now all about embodying his identity as a solo artist, Mayor of J Funk City. That’s also the name of his 2020 album that made him the first indie saxman to hit #1 on all SmoothJazz.com Charts simultaneously. He rules the town once again with his latest single “Coming Back Around,” a summery, high-octane party jam that marks his second off the chain collaboration with bassist Julian Vaughn. Building on their well-established chemistry, the two up their synergistic game with sass and fire, creating a powerful duality throughout while offering several dazzling solo spotlights by both.
