Original Tribute to Norman Brown | Smooth Jazz Guitar, Contemporary R&B Grooves & Soul Legacy

Benvenuti a un nuovo appuntamento della serie Original Tribute, interamente dedicato al tocco inconfondibile, alle sonorità vellutate e allo straordinario talento chitarristico di Norman Brown.

Considerato tra i maestri indiscussi dello Smooth Jazz e del Contemporary R&B, Norman Brown ha saputo fondere la lezione chitarristica di Wes Montgomery e George Benson con groove urbani, soul e d'ispirazione pop. In quest'ora ripercorriamo i suoi più grandi successi: dalle leggendarie "After The Storm" e "Just Chillin'" (vincitrice del Grammy Award), alla spinta ritmica di "Take Me There". Ampio spazio alle sue celebri reinterpretazioni come "Any Love" di Luther Vandross, "Remember The Time" di Michael Jackson, "That's The Way Love Goes" di Janet Jackson e il classico "You Make Me Feel Brand New". Completano il viaggio l'atmosfera solare di "Paradise", "West Coast Coolin'", "Just Between Us", la travolgente versione di "Too High", l'energia di "Stormin'" e la chiusura elegante di "Perfect Paradise".

Un'ora di puro groove, raffinatezza chitarristica e grande classe.
