Album Notes

Bulleting up the Smooth Jazz radio charts, Present Tense is proud to have Eric Marienthal, saxophonist, and Alex Acuna, percussionist, (world-class performers playing with some of the best and well know groups in the world)playing with Present Tense, on this album.

Present Tense brings contemporary instrumental compositions

Hot mix of modern jazz & R&B
author: Mark T. Hanson
