Search - The Downtown Players :: Smooth Jazz New Year's Party

If anyone can "bring the noise", but in a cool, mellow way, it is Billy Cyro. Born to Hungarian parents immediately after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Billy grew up listening to the greats of smooth jazz - Boney James, David Sanborne, and Larry Carlton to name just a few. Though it was hard on his parents, the fact that the young Cyro didnt need any lessons and could pretty much play through instinct led them to give him the money he needed to come west. On this album, Cyro turns his attention to the holidays, specifically New Years Eve. Featuring classics such as Auld Lang Syne, he turns them on their heads. Golden chestnuts played with a jazz swing feel? Take one listen and you'll agree that he is on to something, and has even persuaded his record company to finance a series of just holiday smooth jazz. Of that series, this is the first.
