Having collaborated over the years with both R&B/pop legends the likes of Billy Preston, Maria Muldaur, and The Coasters, as well as Smooth Jazz greats including Acoustic Alchemy, Kirk Whalum and Eric Marienthal, Grammy-nominated bassist and guitarist Dennis Murphy brings a dynamic swirl of history, adventurousness, and hard-grooving energy to his current splash in the genre. Setting the stage for his upcoming, star-studded album INFINITE – the follow up to his hit 2021 collection OUR HIGHER SELVES, which stayed on the Smoothjazz.com TOP100 Chart for 49 weeks, Murphy brings a feisty mix of irrepressible, funky and fiery exotica and gritty blues to Sergio Mendes’ classic “Mas Que Nada.” The fast-rolling track features plenty of trademark improvisations by Murphy, who intermingles throughout with the buoyant, intensely pulsating piano and organ of guest super star Ricky Peterson (David Sanborn, Stevie Nicks).
