Alexander Zonjic: Playing It Forward

Smooth tones and grooves are provided by flutist Alexander Zonjic on this ear friendly Jeff Lorber production. With Lorber on keyboards and synth bass, teamed with Paul Jackson Jr/Chuck Loeb/g, Gary Novak, David Mann on horn arrangements and a surfeit of easy listening guests, Zunic mixes soul and polished R&B as on the Earth, Wind and Fire-y “Motor City Sway” while digging deep into Herbie Hancock Headhunter material during the title tune. Zonjic’s flute gets funky on the upbeat “Jazz Café’” and produces an earthy “Nature Boy”. Some gospel soul gets preached on “Living In The Past” with the leader showing some bop chops on “Bottom Heat” and “Rolling In The Deep”. Smooth sailing with some white caps.
