Don't Cha Know


Don't Cha' Know! 2007 Produced by Darren Motamedy



Funky, Fresh, Urban Contemporary and hot! This album is destined to be #1 on the Smooth Jazz Charts. "Love You Just So Much" sets the album in motion with an Urban Backbeat that needs accompaniment only with a glass or red and a couch for two! This album glides seamlessly from track to track, and includes an amazing version of Luther's "Dance With My Father", and a fat fresh version of summertime! The title cut, "Don't Cha' Know" (that she's my baby) is a standout dance track that will make ya' get your groove on. Double Cache' will take you back in time to the days of Groove Holmes, and "Going's Gruv" will set you in the back alleys of old school jazz......This is it! 13 cuts, all strong and ready for the smooth jazz airwaves and your living room stereo!
