Smooth Jazz giants Rick Braun and Boney James join J&R for a special in-store performance and autograph signing on Wednesday May 31st at the J&R Jazz Outlet at 23 Park Row in New York City.

Prominently featured in this original album is the last jazz/pop crossover of the 1960's - Hugh Masakela's 1968 hit "Grazin in the Grass." This new record delivers " a very danceable and soulful day or even evening full of music that you're bound to enjoy," comments J&R Jazz Editor, Jack Twomey.
