Audio Mixer: Paul Wickliffe. Photographer: Roy Cox. Arrangers: Ronny Smith; Ronny Smith. For his approach, smooth jazz guitarist Ronny Smith synthesizes the classic jazz sounds of past six-strings George Benson and Wes Montgomery, the Latin rhythms of Poncho Sanchez and Tito Puente, and the decades-spanning funky pop of Stevie Wonder. With all this in the mix, Smith achieves an almost ideal balance of light n' breezy ambiance, deep grooves, and jazz roots. (The closer is a classic tune by the late legendary bebop trumpeter Kenny Dorham.) Horns, keyboards, and even a little gospel-flavored organ enrich the palette he draws upon.
