Talented young smooth jazz saxophonist Eric Darius has released his latest CD entitled Just Getting Started.

I'm very confident Eric Darius fans, and smooth jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Just Getting Started the young and extremely talented Darius's artistic excellence is on full display as he has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks.

Just Getting Started is Darius's second major label release in as many years, and is a very soulful CD that's part funk, part smooth jazz, all nice, and balanced just right.

The CD launches with a great track, Steppin' Up, that will definitely be heard on smooth jazz radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. From there Darius proceeds to display why he is destined to be a top artist in the smooth jazz category. Displaying what is becoming his own signature, funky style throughout the CD.

Contributors on the project includes an amazing line up of smooth jazz and music industry heavy hitters. Names like Jeff Lorber on several tracks, Paul Brown, Euge Groove, and the incomparable Brian Culbertson. Plus a few other notables as well.

Overall Just Getting Started is an excellent contribution by the young and clearly very talented Darius and would be a great addition to your smooth jazz collection. It's quite simply a very entertaining CD.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes and SmoothJazz247.com favorites are Lover's Paradise [track 2], Right Here, Right Now [track 6], and It's Alright With Me [track 9]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 10, Can't Let Go. Very nice!
