"Seasons" from Maryland based sax-man Art Sherrod Jr. is his second studio CD and represents a significant step on a musical journey that began in his native Texas andn progressed to such an extent that he has already shared the stage with such smooth jazz luminaries as Natalie Cole, Angie Stone, Will Downing, Marion Meadows, Norman Connors, Phil Perry, Chuck Loeb, Kim Waters, Najee, Roy Ayers, Pieces of a Dream, Everette Harp and Bob Baldwin. In fact, 'Seasons' includes contributions from several of these A-list performers but rather than puzzling at just how Sherrod has managed to assemble so many great artists in the same place at the same time, it is adequate to luxuriate in the sublime artistry on show.
