Smooth Jazz - IamGuruJay

If you want easy listening on your weekend, Sade will do the trick. I’m sure if Billie Holliday were alive now, she would fancy Sade’s music. What is more, the Solider of Love romanticizes and motivates a multicultural army.

If you really want to be famous, find a mentor. If you’re already a celebrity, study your idols closely. Sade is an American Idol/ X Factor in her own right.

As you may know, Leona Lewis won X Factor in 2006. You may also know, after hearing Bleeding Love, it takes 48 hours to get the song out my head. Have you heard I See You? Look out for Leona’s I Am to soon hit shelves.

Jordin Sparks won American Idol in 2007. Today, she offers only the best goods made in the USA. Have you checked out her Right Here, Right Now album yet?

Sweet Sade performs wonders with her rosy voice. Her music reaches across generations. Daddy and daughter can dance to her beat.

Sade, Leona Lewis, and Jordin Sparks have striking similarities. Their soft sounds are coveted and comforting. What girl wouldn’t want to sing like these three?

Sade serves as a prime example for entertainers. If you’re a performer, always keep practicing. If there is one thing Sade can teach you, it is the value of persistence.

The main difference is Sade attended classes at the Old School. Leona and Jordin learn at the New School. Also, Sade stays true to the Smooth Jazz genre. On the other hand, Sparks and Lewis are premiere pop music stars.

I like Sade’s mysteriousness, Leona’s meekness, and Jordin’s perkiness. Plus, I believe they are beautiful souls, who donate money and time, and expect nothing in return. When I vacation at the beach, grant me my solace along with music by Sade, Leona Lewis, and Jordin Sparks.

I learned how to write poetry in the 5^th grade. My teachers entered my poems into statewide contests. Fortunately I won a few of those.

Poetry stretches the creative mind and imagination. Picture life without words, rhythm, metaphors, and pentameters. How would you make sense of living and reality?

While growing up, I rarely listened to rock or rap music. I played jazz in my old portable CD player. Do you remember the Walkman?

Right after listening to Kenny G, I would write poetry because the saxophonist inspired me. Inspirational music serves multiple purposes. First of all, more souls seek daily inspiration. Second, motivational music itself cures boredom, frustration, and negativity.

Has Kenny G even played a negative note? Kenny mostly orchestrates positive moods, good spirits, and good vibrations. What is more, his long and illustrious career speaks volumes about his musical influence.

By my 15^thbirthday- early 2000s, I heard every Kenny G album in existence. There is still something magical about saxophones. The jazz musician breathes life into his instruments.

Kenny G is a poet who specializes in smooth jazz on the soprano saxophone. His style is similar to the magnetic Adam Levine. He makes his hardware sound like Christina Aguilera.

Kenny G built his fandom by becoming the Microsoft of smooth jazz. Yes, Bill Gates created a monopoly with Windows. And, in the same way, Kenny G was the foremost saxophonist.

Christmas 2000, my mother asked me “What do you want for a present?” I’ll never forget receiving more than what I asked for. My parents gave me the Britney Spears Oops!…I Did It Again album, a stereo, and a Yamaha keyboard. I’ve always loved music since a youngster because music improves your quality of life.

Wouldn’t the world be a safer place if more young people listened to Kenny G and smooth jazz instead of Marilyn Manson?
