SmoothViews - Keeping Smooth Jazz in Sight!

Marc Antoine: Born in Paris, having lived in London, Los Angeles, and currently Madrid, Marc Antoine is a true citizen of the world, his music reflecting the influences of his travels in his melodic guitar playing. Marc recently teamed up with fellow guitar player Paul Brown to write and record the CD, Foreign Exchange, which is being compared to the classic 1987 collaboration between George Benson and Earl Klugh. Marc recently answered our questions about the new CD from his home in Madrid.

Boney James: Boney James, saxman extraordinaire and the funkiest guy out there, has been in the music business for well over 20 years now. His sound is clearly identifiable and his shows continue to sell-out everywhere. He is currently on tour promoting his latest CD, Send One Your Love, and in a brief moment of down time, we were able to catch up with him and get some insight into his new CD and song selection.

Paul Brown: Two-time Grammy winner Paul Brown was already a successful producer before embarking on a solo career as a smooth jazz guitarist in 2005. Brown, known for his funky electric guitar, teamed this past year with classically-trained, nylon-string guitarist Marc Antoine to write and record the new CD Foreign Exchange. One review likened this collaboration to pairing Elton John and Billy Joel together. Paul recently spoke with SmoothViews about Foreign Exchange and his career.
