Music Corner World

Very talented Smooth Jazz artist Alexander Zonjic has released his latest CD titled Reach For The Sky and Wow! It's good.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Alexander Zonjic is one of those musicians that has the ability to just bowl you over with his talent. The kind of artist it's really a treat to be able to listen to.

I give Reach For The Sky my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, I Just Wanna Stop. Outstanding!
