CD RACK

Richard Elliot - Straight Up Down (2024)  "Smooth jazz fans will know all about Scottish-born, LA raised and San Diego based RICHARD ELLIOT. A jazz chart topper and Grammy nominee, Elliot has 20 albums in his own name, countless collaborations and a CV that incudes work with Tower of Power, Smokey Robinson, Bonnie Raitt, The Temptations, Natalie Cole, the Pointer Sisters, Dave Koz and Gerald Albright to name just a few. So yes, he’s a shining star in the smooth jazz firmament but his work can never be classed as “lite” or bland. Indeed, his oeuvre always delivers a soulful undertow – maybe caused by a combination of factors… his upbringing in a soul loving family and his five year stint with Tower of Power?" ~ soulandjazzandfunk.com.
