Album Notes

CHICAGO is known for a town of Great Musicians. Well, coming to the stage, a bad ass artist, CARLOS CANNON, a Powerful, Uplifting Smooth Jazz Saxophonist and a outstanding entertainer.

Mr. CANNON has been making his mark throughout the states and around the Chicago area for more than two decades. His debut CD,\"IN THE NAME OF LOVE,\" put his name on the map for music lovers in the R&B and smooth jazz arena and featured many memorable tunes that will be played many years to come. Stepping up his game with the release of his follow up CD, \"TAK \'N IT SMOOTH,\" Mr. Cannon, with his effortless sax playing (a La Grover Washington Jr., Boney James, Gerald Albright, Richard Elliot, Boney James, Kenny G, Paul Taylor & David Sandborn,) is equally suited to hold his own as a smooth Jazz instrumentalist featuring soulful R&B vocals appealing to a wider audience while creating his own sound. This Album exposes Cannon\'s talent and reaffirms that his presence is here to stay. \"Tak\'N It Smooth\" consists of up-tempo, jammin beats, nice and easy ballads, R&B vocals and of course, the flavorful sounds of Cannon playing soprano, alto and tenor sax. Inheriting the name \"Breath Taker,\" as a performer, Cannon reaches out, touching the hearts of his audience with breathtaking notes and soulful spirit that captures the attention of his audience.

Chicago\'s style of contemporary jazz music, CARLOS CANNON bring it to the table both of his CDs that are a collective item in the new era of smooth contemporary jazz and R&B music.


Mr. Cannon has also been called on to perform with or open shows for well known artists as Michael Bolton, Angel Bofill, Fred Hammond(Gospel), Pieces of a Dream, and Marion Meadows. Carlos has even played his music on stage with Queen Latifah.
