Saxophonist Alfonzo Blackwell
"Dance to This" In Stores Now

Pure distilled greatness was packaged for your listening pleasure with the seventh CD release from contemporary jazz maverick, Alfonzo Blackwell. "Dance To This" is the latest masterpiece released through Utopia Records, Inc.

Alfonzo Blackwell is an illustrious and magnetic music veteran. Veterans in the music industry such as Alfonzo Blackwell, transcend all boundaries. Not only do they stay ahead of the curve, they shape the curve.

Just pop in the CD and press PLAY. Alfonzo masterfully invites you in on his electrifying and seductive grooves. The opening/title track, "Dance To This" exudes melodic and infectious blends of stomp your feet soul and powerful alto sax bravado punch. The next track, "Back It Up" (Featuring Utopia Records label mate Rebecca Buxton on Baritone Saxophone) is in the vain of what his uptempo music has been from the start � the distinguished blend of hot contemporary jazz and urban rhythms inspired dance format. This format; unique only to Alfonzo Blackwell is ushering listeners to clap your hands and snap your fingers. This is can't-sit-down contemporary jazz at its finest.

Alfonzo slows it down, on "Inside My Heart". On this passionate ballad, his soprano glides seamlessly throughout the track like a butterfly. The control of his horn is crisp with haunting classical proficiency. "This Is Real" is a mid-tempo (instant classic) track that has in-your-face contemporary jazz and pop appeal. The blissful melody is superb. "Take A Look" will get you up and dancing to the droning drum lines that lace its tracks.
"Take A Look" is destined to be a Contemporary Jazz Classic which features another new and stellar talent from Utopia Records - Shana Kaye. Shana Floats & Dazzles the groove with her flute on this track. The distinctive winning formula for great music is to make everyone feel good; well, this tune does just that. The remaining tracks, in its entire splendor are savvy and sophisticated as well. Alfonzo Blackwell delivers impeccably with brilliant writing, production and stellar performances on his latest CD project, "Dance To This." His genius resonates eloquently on each and every track.
