Smooth Jazz Cruise 2009
CruiseMates Cruise Guide
The TV set was already playing a concert from the previous year’s Smooth Jazz cruise featuring a guitar player who was also on our cruise Jeff Golub. A guitar player myself I realized from the tape that this smooth jazz cruise would feature plenty of great improvisational musicians striving to show their peers how much they progressed in the last year. I was not expecting this level of musical freedom from a smooth jazz cruise. Standard jazz music is rarely as pre-arranged and melodic as smooth jazz. Instead standard jazz is very improvisational and the excitement comes from the back-and-forth interaction between multiple instruments playing off of one another rather than a single repeating and memorable melody. Bottom line: When you get the dozens of qualified jazz musicians we had on this ship together you can’t hold them back. Yes we were going to hear some smooth jazz “hits” with melodies many audience members already knew.

It can be clearly seen in a journey from Miles Davis to Mecca and the various stages and destinations in between. Reading about these cultural connections is one thing. When it comes to music there is no substitute for listening.
