Eric Darius' Next CD Features Smooth Jazz Heavyweights

Smooth jazz saxophonist Eric Darius, who earlier this month turned 23, has wrapped production on a new CD titled Just Getting Started. The CD, being released by Narada Jazz, is the follow-up to Eric’s debut from 2004 called Night on the Town. That CD featured the smooth jazz single of the same name.

The new 11-song CD of all original material features contributions from pianist Brian Culbertson, with whom Eric toured as a bandmember for much of 2004, and saxophonists Euge Groove and Steve Cole. Among the CD’s songs are include “Steppin’ Up,” “Lover’s Paradise,” “Groove On,” “If I Ain’t Got You” and “Slick.”

Just Getting Started will be available on March 7. Darius will be hosting and performing some of those new songs on Dec. 31 at a New Year’s Eve party at the Hyatt Regency in Tampa Bay along with violinist Karen Briggs and Nadia Darius, who is Eric’s younger sister.
