This doesn’t always come easy but in the case of writer, producer and keyboard player Jonathan Fritzén he makes it appear to be the most natural thing in the world.
His latest album, the delightfully accessible ‘Diamonds’, is a case in point. Released in June 2010, and described as his most personal project yet, he has composed all ten tracks, produced throughout and engaged the services of some really outstanding guest artists. Both Alex Al and Mel Brown contribute on bass while sax duties are shared between Koh (aka Mr. Saxman), the ubiquitous Darren Rahn and rising smooth jazz starlet Jessy J. Indeed her performance on the sultry ‘Fly Away’ is something to savor while a special mention must go to the soul drenched ‘You’ll Be Mine’ where not for the first time vocalist Laila Adéle steals the show. Rahn, who also mixed the album, provides an input to the mid tempo ‘This Way That Way’ which is sure to make it a favorite of the airwaves but that said the first single to be serviced to radio is ‘Dance With Me’. Finding Fritzén at his rhythmic best, the track has powered its way to an extended stay at #1 on the Billboard Charts and in so doing helped ‘Diamonds’ become a #1 smooth jazz best seller on Amazon.com
It was back in 2008 that his debut CD ‘Love Birds’ announced him as a performer of tremendous promise. Every one of its eleven original compositions reached to the very core of what great smooth jazz should be yet less than a year later Fritzén returned with the equally impressive ‘VIP’.
Jonathan Fritzén was born in Stockholm to a Swedish mother and an American father. As a young child he playing drums and later added piano, bass, guitar, flute and vocals. By the age of 22 Jonathan had performed on national Swedish television several times and toured with some of the countries most respected jazz musicians. Three years later he recorded ‘Love Birds’ and the rest, as they say, is history. With ‘Diamonds’ he is all set to write a new chapter. It is a further manifestation of the innate ability Fritzén has to weave rhythm and melody into everything he does and supported by an active touring schedule that has already included performances in the USA, Europe and Asia, is sure to be one of the albums of the year.

Ya don't say. As if we didn't all know that. Say something or STFU.
This is in fact one of the greatest piano performances ever. Outside of those performed by Keiko Matsui.
See? I said something. You didn't.
Get off your meds, ass-wipe.

Heard of this guy the first time, when I was listening the last jazztrax.com show in August 2012. He plays perfect smoozh-jazz, his sound are so explosive but emotional. Music which makes you cry but smile on the other side. I love his sounds and the videos got real soul. Thanks to Art of jazz-trax for bringing this man to my ears!
