Trumpeter Rick Braun and saxophonist Richard Elliot are now in the planning stages of what could be one of the biggest smooth jazz projects in years - a duets album.Braun says that the CD, which could be released by the fall of 2006, will draw on the duo’s history with the brass-heavy bands War and Tower of Power. It was back in 2000 that Braun offered a tasty CD with saxophonist Boney James called “Shake It Up” that was released by Warner Bros.
The upcoming duets CD will of course by released by ARTizen Music Group, the new smooth jazz founded by Braun and Elliot that recently announced the signing of saxophonist Shilts from Down to the Bone. Meanwhile, Braun’s brand-new album called Yours Truly features the Top 5 smooth jazz single called “Shining Star.” And Elliot’s current Top 10 single, “Mystique,” is the second from his ARTizen debut called “Metro Blue.” The first single, “People Make the World Go Round,” was No. 1 for 11 weeks.
