Great mix of old school jazz with smooth jazz
author: agesimpSmidi Beats' Jazz Foundation delivers a great blend of old school and smooth jazz. Again, Smidi, has not limited his musical style, as this one is a must for any wanting a cross mixed of old school, smooth jazz, chilled/lounge selections.
