SKY JAZZ (CD) by The Richard Shulman Trio

"Sky Jazz" is Richard Shulman's new genre of music.

Sky Jazz combines jazz elements of harmony, pulse, and improvisation with a deliberate goal of soothing and inspiring the listener. Full of melody and swing, the music delights on its own, while helping people to relax, meditate, and even heal.

Have you ever encountered jazz with such strong spiritual intent? The closest was the urgent questing of saxophone legend John Coltrane -- not surprisingly, one of Richard's major influences -- although Sky Jazz inspires a much sunnier and more serene kind of reflection.
