Sax Machine

Posted November 9, 2012 by Hulon Crayton in jazz, jazz music, saxophone, smooth jazz, Music

Hello everyone,

I have a song called Sax Machine that I feel is soothing and uplifting. I have had fans tell me that they love this song, so I hope (if you are just coming across it for the first time) you will too. You can download it off of iTunes, or listen to the sample and decide for yourself. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the song. Hope you enjoy.

Dr. Goodfoot

Dr. Goodfoot” is one of those tracks that is just as fun to play as it is to listen to. I'm so glad the palpable energy we felt in the studio translated to the finished recording. I knew we were doing something right when I couldn't help but dance while playing this. Partially inspired by Grover Washington Jr.’s “Mister Magic,” this track should be accessible to all those who enjoy a funky groove and an upbeat mood.

So Naturally

Posted September 20, 2012 by Hulon Crayton in jazz, jazz music, saxophone, smooth jazz, Music

"So Naturally" is a song I wrote that is meant to just
feel right. The groove, the melody and the production sounds are meant to
convey pure bliss. This tune is laid back and very smooth, perfect for a drive
up the coast with the top down. Some might hear a nod to the blissful groove of
George Benson on his album Breezin'.<o:p></o:p>

"Cisco Kid"

Posted September 6, 2012 by Hulon Crayton in jazz, jazz music, saxophone, smooth jazz, Music, Entertainment

“Cisco Kid” is nothing but
smooth sax that will keep you humming all throughout the song. I like to keep
the beat going throughout the phrase while building dynamics to anticipate my
own freestyle. I like my music to immediately make you feel lost in my world of
jazz, where you can’t help but sway to the beat. In this live
performance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htnRy6NvisM, you can even see all of the audience members
moving around and having a good time. I love seeing the audience get up and
dance because I want my music to be enjoyable and fun. Check out “Cisco Kid”
and the rest of the album! http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/first-impressions/id503751154
