Florida based guitarist and composer, Ted Shumate is joined by some of the top musicians in the smooth jazz genre on
"A Different Shade of Blue."
This project features:
Ron Reinhardt: Keyboardist, composer, music director for Richard Elliot
Longineu Parsons: Trumpet, flugelhorn, flautist, recording artist with Nancy Wilson
Patrick Bettison: Bassist and former music director for Acoustic Alchemy
Dave Reinhardt: Drummer and percussionist for various smooth jazz artists, such as Peter White, Richard Elliott and
others
Shumate takes the listener on a musical journey through many different shades of blue. Just as there are many different shades
of colors that our eyes perceive in the visual arts, there are many different shades of colors that our ears perceive in music.
The compositions here are not traditional blues forms, but were written in the spirit of the blues, and reveal themselves
in many different musical shades and styles.
