Booking Blast Dossier

"...the glorious, stylistically diverse result of the inventive pianist, composer, arranger and producer. It offers a spirited blend of a multitude of pop, rock and jazz influences, from The Beatles, Bob Dylan and James Brown to Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock." ~Jonathan Widran (The JW Vibe) 
  
"Jawanza Kobie Jazz Composer covers a lot of musical ground yet is consistently rewarding and just plain fun...”  ~ Scott Yanow (Jazz Journalist / Historian)

"...Jawanza Kobie’s whimsical, high octane, super-funked, piano pleaser “Imagine That” marks the versatile Philly bred keyboardist, composer and arranger’s first collaboration with guitarist, producer and mega Smooth Jazz hitmaker Nils. As wildly melodic and infectious as the tune is, it’s just the tip of the iceberg artistically for Kobie, a prolific veteran sideman and film and TV composer who writes and records it all (often on the same collection!) – swing/traditional jazz, electric fusion, fiery blues, Latin and flamenco. Imagine that! Be sure to check out the entire album collection, as this jazz composer is essential for jazz aficionados!" ~SmoothJazz.com Global
