O’s Notes: Smooth jazz saxophonist Steve Cole has a winning formula and sticks to it! He returns to the Contemporary Jazz Charts with his top notch team including producer David Mann (sax, keyboards, programming, fl), Ricky Peterson (B3), Kari Parker (d), Bernd Schoenhart (g) and Lamar Jones (b). Steve has a tremendous amount of“Gratitude for the support he received during a personal health scare and we hear it in the music, ten mostly original (Cole, Cole/Mann, Mann) selections with cool covers of ‘Love Ballad‘ and Marcus Anderson’s (fl) ‘Can’t Get Enough‘. Fans and smooth jazz lovers will not be disappointed!
