O’s Notes: The German guitarist going by Nils landed in Los Angeles in the late 80’s and has become hot on the smooth jazz circuit. He follows up of his well-regarded debut“Pacific Coast Highway“with“Play, another free flowing smooth jazz effort showcasing his liquid melodies and composing skills. The J-Jams Horns, Darryl Williams (b), Johnny Britt (t, vocals, Rhodes) are among the strong supporting cast. Guests Philippe Saisse (keyboards) and Steve Cole (sax) are featured on “Straight Down The Line” and “California“ respectively. This is a winner!
