Smooth Jazz is in a slump... That is hard for me to say because I've listened to it for nearly 30 years.

I've heard music recently from the mainstream smooth jazz artists and they just don't make the grade. I feel a lack of creativity and positive vibe is the problem.

Well, that outlook just changed!!!

Funkee Boy has just released his new CD "Philosoulphy" and it breathes life back into the dying body of smooth jazz!

I had the honor to meet this talented artist and I know why "Philosoulphy" is an outstanding CD. You see, Funkee Boy lives by the creed "Love, Positivity & Soul". And you can hear & feel it in his music.

The one great thing I've noticed is he never vears from his roots. In this day and age when alot of artists reinvent themselves and lose touch where they came from musically, Funkee Boy stays the course!

And the other cool thing... he brings along other artists who share in his music vision. Vincent Ingala, Elan Trotman, Leila, Ru Willams & Anthony Rivera are just a few of the artists named on the CD.

So if you want a CD filled with music that defines what smooth jazz should be, this is it! Funkee Boy will not disappoint you! After all, it's his "Philosoulphy"!

And if you love this CD, get "Rise", his first release!

It’s really rare to find what’s written on the package is actually in the package. In the case of Bobbi “Funkee Boy” Tammaro’s sophomore release, PHILOSOULPHY, it’s a perfect match! Already the #1 best selling Smooth Jazz album in the world (CDBaby), it features some of the hottest, nu jazz star guests like Elan Trotman, Vincent Ingalia and Robert Harris. This glossy project mixes old school with new school and all classes in between, equally combining shades of Funk, R&B and Soul. Funkee Boy is without a doubt, one of Gods ‘Super Talents’! The stylish producer, arranger, songwriter and instrumentalist, is at great ease in all of the above roles. His PHILOSOULPHY is an uplifting thirteen tracker… favorites include the creative title track, as well as ”Bliss” with afore-mentioned guitarist Robert Harris and the cleverly re-worked “On Top,” an homage to Tower of Power with vocalist RU Williams. If your philosophy is to feel good, then PHILOSOULPHY is the way!

I'm a new fan of both Funkee Boy and this style of music.  I am totally in love with this CD.  It's great for driving - so relaxing.  My new favorite song is Anatomy.  I keep listening to it over and over.
