From touring, recording and performing with iconic talent such as The Rolling Stones, Prince, J. Lo, Etta James, Hiram Bullock and Randy Brecker, saxophonist Eric Knight has been setting the stage for his emergence as a powerhouse solo artist for years. Concurrent with the early success of KnightHammer, a Smooth Jazz duo formed with longtime friend Doug Oberhamer, Knight’s debut solo single takes a freewheeling, easy thumping spin through Gnarls Barkley’s Grammy-nominated smash, “Crazy," featuring a burnin' piano solo from Andy Ezrin (Chris Botti, David Sanborn) and an incendiary guitar solo from Marcus Machado. The track showcases the effervescent saxman’s soulful, funky and deeply melodic soprano and his inventive approach to horn texturing making "Crazy" as clever as a fox!
The vibrant pink, green and yellow background and bright, multi-hued outfit Erisa Nicole wears on the cover of her slammin’ new single “Fresh,” perfectly reflect the vibrant, buoyant vibes, whimsically soaring melody and hip, groove-intensive flair the saxophonist creates with co-writer and producer Adam Hawley. Soulful and punchy, with a dynamic blend of grit and whimsy, the optimistic track is the latest triumph for Erisa, who has been lighting up gospel and Smooth Jazz stages everywhere from her home base of San Diego to The Apollo Theatre and gigging with the likes of Con Funk Shun, Elan Trotman, Jazz In Pink and Nathan East.
