...And All That Jazz

So I was browsing around on the Internet last week and made a stop at diamondrio.com as I do quite often to check for any news on the band. While I was there, I went and I was checking out each member's biography. I came upon keyboardist Dan Truman's bio and read that he had done some work on another project with his old college buddy, Ron Saltmarsh. The two of them got together and composed and produced a smooth jazz CD. They call themsevles This Way That and the title of their CD is Festival.

I become rather curious so I went over to This Way That's website at thiswaythat.com to see what else I could find out about it. While there, I listened to the sound clips that they had provided on the site. I really liked what I heard, so much so that I decided to order the CD. It finally arrived today and I have been listening to it. I must say, it is a really good CD and I have been enjoying it.

While I was waiting in anticpation all week for the CD to arrive, I have been listening to the Smooth Jazz station on Radio@AOL and have really liked what I have heard. I seem to have found myself perfering to listen to jazz rather than my norm country music.

I have to tell you, I never thought that I would ever listen to jazz music for any reason, ever. Not only did I never think that I would listen to jazz, but I never thought that I might actually like it. Boy was I wrong. I have found that jazz is rather relaxing, soothing, and enjoyable. It makes me sit back and relax and just enjoy the sound. It makes for a good stress reliver as well. I guess you could say that I have become a jazz fan.

I am sure that there might be some out there that think I have lost my mind because of the fact that I am becoming a jazz fan. To be honest, I do not really care what they think. I think that you all ought to give jazz a chance if you haven't already. I really think that you might enjoy it if you give it a chance. It never hurts to try, folks.

For those jazz fans that might be reading this, I recommend that you surf on over to thiswaythat.com and take a listen to the sound clips provided. If you enjoy what you hear, I recommend placing an order for the CD. Be sure that if you do take a listen and/or buy the CD, to come back here and let me know what you think.

Well, that is going to wrap it up this time around. Thanks for reading.

'Till next time.
