Synopsis

Album Description
L.A -based writer and singer Ron Boustead (BO?-sted) has blended up Smooth Jazz, Pop, Latin and Soul with his 2006 release, "Blend". Having written material for other great singers like George Benson, Jonathan Butler, the Four Tops, Arnold McCuller, Pauline Wilson and Deniece Williams; Boustead applies his own vocal prowess to his vibe-y, sophisticated concoction. There are 10 new songs, including the Urban-flavored radio single, "Waiting For A Miracle". The project also offers compelling cover versions of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition", done down-tempo and funky, and the Carole King ballad, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" as a classic smooth jazz ballad. Boustead is probably best known as the lyricist and featured vocalist with Contemporary Jazz Keyboardist, Gregg Karukas, having collaborated on many of Gregg's CDs. Their songs "In My Dreams" and "Sound Of Emotion" were radio hits in the early days of the "Wave" radio format. "Blend" is all the more delicious thanks to the help of some great L.A. musicians like guitarists Grant Geissman, Thom Rotella and Phil Sheeran. Karukas adds his acoustic piano to two tracks, and mixed 11 of the songs. Soprano sax and flute are courtesy of rising star, Katisse Buckingham; and accordion virtuoso, Nick Ariando lends his special flavor to three tunes, including a spicy solo on "So My Soul Can Sing". The bottom end is solidly anchored by veteran bassist, Keith Jones.
