Synopsis

Product Description
Tom Grant has produced his first all original smooth jazz record since his 1998 Windham Hill release Tune It In. Life is Good contains 10 new songs and 2 tunes (Mysterious Smile and In My Body, Out of My Mind) that are reprised from earlier works by the pianist-singer-composer. One of the redone oldies is Mysterious Smile, co-written by Tom and Pink Martini bassist, Phil Baker. Also on this CD is a collaboration between Tom and sultry soul singer Shelly Rudolph. The song is called Gold and it could be the perfect wedding song for newlyweds anywhere. Life is Good also highlights Toms affinity for the Bossa Nova feel of the 60s. The opening piece on the CD is a funky finger-popper featuring Dan Schauffler, Saxophonist with Nu Shooz and the Crazy 8s. Toms regular bass player Dave Captein is heard on this record, along with Gino Vanelli drummer Reinhard Melz. Life is Good also contains sweet ambient grooves along with a couple of smart solo piano pieces.

Tom is back with some smooth jazz for his fans.

"Tom's fans will be glad to hear that he's returned to his smooth jazz roots with songs like "Step Up" and "Mysterious Smile." Nice flute riffs on "Easy Landing" and some funk on "Talk To Me Nice." Thanks, Tom, for bringing back that smooth sound."
