Urban jazz is the fusion of smooth jazz and R&B music. Urban jazz usually contains strong R&B percussion and bass lines. A few of the better known urban jazz artists are Boney James, Ronny Jordan, Nick Colionne, Wayman Tisdale, Najee, and Paul Jackson, Jr.

Some of the more successful releases in this genre have been more creative while other more laidback releases have struggled. One release Hidden Beach Unwrapped featured Paul Jackson, Jr., Mike Phillips, and vocalists covering and other  acts. This led to a series of imitation releases including the Streetwize.

A genre that is definitely growing, urban jazz has an increasing audience on non conventional radio, TV and especially the internet. More recent projects like DefJazz, and jazz's convergence with drum machines and rhythms at times help project this genre toward a mature and also younger audience.



       Smooth, Urban jazz guitarist Tony Elder has been influenced by Nick Colionne, Wes Montgomery, George Benson,  and smooth jazz guitarist Norman Brown. Tony Elder resides in Sacramento and it is where he produces and compose music.  I would like to welcome you to listen to his debut upcoming  jazz cd entitled "Inside My Soul"   which is scheduled soon for release.
