George Howard created one of the most distinctive sax sounds in Smooth Jazz and, as a result, became one of the most popular contemporary jazz performers of the 80’s and 90’s. His last album release was in 1998, the year in which he died of colon cancer. Six years later, a young, talented saxman from Atlanta has recorded a most impressive tribute to the musician who has been such a major influence on his style of playing. Dee Lucas has done a marvelous job of re-creating the instantly recognizable style and legacy of George Howard, while at the same time putting his own unique signature on each fresh, new performance of these George Howard classics. You’ll recognize them all, from the current radio favorite, “When Summer Comes,” to such evergreens as “Dancing In the Sun,” “When a Child Smiles,” and the one vocal on the album, a stunningly updated arrangement of “Love Will Conquer All,” featuring the voice of talented Thelma Hypolite.” If you’re a George Howard fan, this is a must-have album for your collection… and here’s another good reason to pick up a copy of REMEMBRANCE: A portion of your investment will be donated to the Center for Disease Control’s “Screen for Life” National Colon Cancer Awareness Action Campaign. It’s a perfect opportunity to add a quality Smooth Jazz album to your library, and also help combat the third most common cause of cancer deaths in the United States.
