In the Moment

With the release of IN THE MOMENT, Shanachie welcomes renowned smooth jazz saxophonist Everette Harp to its roster. Well known for his groundbreaking releases for Blue Note Records, Everette has toured the world recording and playing with such superstars as Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Billy Joel and many more. This new album finds Everette in distinguished company again as he is joined by his mentor George Duke, best selling guitarist Norman Brown, South Africa's Jonathan Butler and Paul Jackson Jr. Such important producers as grammy-winner Barry Eastmond (Anita Baker), Rex Rideout (Will Downing) and #1 smooth jazz producers Chuck Loeb and David Mann join in to make IN THE MOMENT the finest Everette Harp record to date. Highlights include the spirited Rideout/Harp composition "Zoom", Everette's evocative tribute to New Orleans, "Jubu Street" with Jonathan Butler, the Chuck Loeb penned "Monday Speaks" featuring Norman Brown's smooth and funky guitar, and a beautifully sensitive tour de force "Always With You".
